Alt text problem

Need help understanding why its comes up with "Be sure you add alt text to your Twitter link", when I think thats what i've already done?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt "Twitter logo">

You have forgotten your equals signs in your alt statments.

alt="insert text here"

      <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo">
      <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo">

The above should work for you.

Happy coding
