I am a complete beginner and I can tell that this is anything but a beginner pattern. Obviously this shouldn’t be the first project I attempt. However, could some of you maybe give me an idea of how ridiculous it would be to try this as one of my first 5 or so projects for example? How much experience would I need to work myself up to this? It looks so complicated.

Ooooh, now that’s a great idea. This works especially well because I spin my own wool yarn on a drop spindle. That means I often make rather small amounts of yarn at a time. Those should be just about enough for 1-2 of those squares. If I vary the thickness of the yarn for the different squares seaming is going to be a bit awkward, but I’ll get over it. Thanks!
