I am trying to figure out what kind of sweater to put on my list to
make, and typical for my "if it's just a normal/typical thing, it's not
my bag" personality, I found a sweater that I would like to try:

http://www.klaam.com/sheknits/Sweaters.htm
and look at the Ribbon Stitch Pullover at the bottom of the page. It
looks like something that I would wear, you can make it to fit whatever
size you are, and I think the diagonal line would be flattering.

Does this look like a complicated project that I might be best off
trying after a first pass at an easier project? (I do okay with
knitting corner-to-corner dishcloths, and I have made two items before
that use increases at markers for shaping, so this sweater looks like
the same type of thing and also something that I might be easier able to
get to fit my unconventional dimensions better than your average random
sweater, but I am having an awful time making this one unprintable
adjective of a tessellated fish that has repeats or increases at random
spots because I keep forgetting where I'm at.)

It's a lovely pattern, and I read through it with great interest.
Looks like it would be very simple to do once you got the hang of the
increasing/decreasing. To me, any project is worth trying. ;-) I'd
pick out the part of the pattern that stumps me or looks a bit
confusing and get that down pat first. The sleeves are what made me
'blink' in the pattern.

It looks fairly easy to me too - but I'm in the throes of knitting a very
complicated shawl in cobweb :-)
