I laughed when I read this - because I wondered the same thing when I went to make this.
I actually emailed Anita and asked her the same questions - she is so nice!
So, yes, go ahead and follow her instructions - they are correct. Good luck and please post a picture when you finish. (Mine isn't done yet.)
