what in the world is a vamp??? and how do i do these?? please help

The vamp is the part of a shoe or slipper that goes over the top of the foot and is the part that has 12 sts on it. So you would pick up 11 sts along the side of this `tongue’, then knit the 12 sts and pick up 11 sts along the other side of it.

so when you pick up the 11 and knit the 12 do you pick up the next 11 on the same needle or the other?

All on the same.
