I am struggling to create a Workflow in SharePoint 2010

Per this blog posting I have tried to:

1. create a list
2. create a column for the list of choice type
3. create a three-state workflow for the list

 
 

I can't seem, so far, to get the list I created to be valid for the workflow. What am I missing? Let's go through the steps again:

1. create a list
   
   • At: Site Actions > Site Settings > Lists > Create > Custom List
2. create a column for the list of choice type
   
   • IceCreamScoop, test, FooBarBaz, and Hello are examples of lists I've created (if I weren't making screen grabs I would pretend I had used better names) in an attempt to create a workflow. I am able to add a column to the Hello list here:
     
     
   • In the dialog box which appears, I select the type value for Choice and also define what my choices will be.
     
     
3. create a three-state workflow for the list
   
   • Site Actions > Site Settings > Libraries > Create > Document Library ...let me create a document library with the terrible name "OK." I tried to then add a workflow like so:
     
     
   • I completed the first of at least two configuration modals without issue. I clicked on the Next button here:
     
     
   • I then found that there was no way to pick a value at the "Select a 'Choice' field:" drop down making it impossible to proceed.
     
     
   • What am I screwing up???
