I liked this project a lot. I think it was good for my level which is definitely beginner. I wasn't quite ready for something with a lot of increases/decreases, but I was getting tired of scarves :). I do think it is best to already be comfortable changing colors. And I also thought it was a great idea to use more than one ball of yarn rather than keep cutting. I used 3 of color A and 2 of color B. I tried it first with just 1 each and had to keep cutting - it got really messy.
