It really wasn't, I finished and while it was a challenge, I didn't find it too difficult and learned lots along the way. Of course being my first completed piece it's a little bumpy, but I plan on trying again. I think what helped was practicing ahead of time before jumping in, watching videos to make sure I was doing it correctly, and being patient with the time it took for holding needles to feel comfortable in my hands. It's a fantastic couch hobby though I highly recommend it.

That pattern itself was just okay, the tapering around the shoulders weren't as ideal as I would have liked and the draping was stiff on the back with the centre taper pushing out, but I still need to block it. I found another pattern that I've had much better luck with that drapes much more beautifully, feels a bit more natural, and with wool yarn is crazy warm.
