[Elecraft] binocular question on W1

Hi,
Just picked up my first three Elecraft kits, the W1, W1SERKT, and the
DL1. I finished the DL1 this past weekend and just completed the W1SERKT
a few minutes ago after doing much of the work on the W1. I stopped
working on the W1 when I got to winding the magnet wire on the binocular
because I have a question.
For those of you who have built the W1, please offer some clarification
for me.
Winding the binocular is just like winding a toroid, no? For example,
when I make the first "loop" through one of the binocular holes I have
actually put the wire through twice which should count as two of my ten
times through the hole.
Just want to make sure I'm counting correctly as I don't want to built
the kit twice.
Thanks!

P.S. Can't wait until the custom enclosure is finished up by W8FGU.
Thanks also to AG4NN for passing along the PDF of his enclosure as well.
Quite impressive.
