I see you have decided on the K1, that is a good choice. The Elecraft kits are a good choice as the manuals are so well written.
You say you have no experience of building a kit, so before you build it, while awaiting delivery perhaps, I think you should practice on something that does not really matter. Any simple Velemann kit or something from Radioshack would be a good idea. Learn how to make mistakes on that and then learn how to fix them without damaging the PCB. Once you can make good joints and solder and desolder parts, and can use the tools properly you will be able to move on to the K1 with confidence.
