Origami moment???

I have been happily knitting along on my Skew socks. The toe is weird as all get out, but I can see how it's supposed to fit a foot, and then continue its diagonal growth.

Then the gusset increases started, and I began to take things on faith, following the instructions step by step and trusting that a heel was going to result.

My faith faltered a bit when I got to the instruction labeled "origami moment." My socks do not usually involve origami.

And yet, here we are!
