Yes.

As folks have mentioned, winding toroids is not scary. Count carefully and 
correctly -- the directions are clear -- and you're all set.

What I'd "worry" about is tinning the leads well and sufficiently close to 
the core so you don't pull enameled wire through the PC board hole when 
soldering in place. Poorly tinned toroid leads (PTTL) are a common problem.

Take care and you'll be fine. Good luck with your K1. It is a great rig.
