So I fell in love with a shawl design (www.ravelry.com)

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.

The pattern is behind a paywall so it's hard to tell how it would be presented, but it looks pretty involved. I probably wouldn't attempt it without being familiar with some decent experience with irregular shaping and such.

It's not perfect but ravelry has skill levels listed-- maybe start with easy ones and move up until you feel comfortable trying this one?

Makes a lot of sense. As the other commenter suggested I think I’ll work myself through the different stitches this project is tagged with one at a time. Might even find some with a lower difficulty on ravelry that I can get excited about while I’m on my way to learning enough to tackle this. Thanks!
