I was concerned when I started my first one, but Stell's directions at the front of the booklet are very thorough. In fact, I was a little stunned when I started reading the threads about people having trouble with short rows/wraps.
I have 3 1/2 now and just love them. I've just ordered my touch tape and have been pinning them in the meantime. I can't wait to get the color-coordinated touch tape, though.
One thing I ran into on my first: my gauge is apparently a little different than Stell's, so my medium is fairly large. For the others, I've just used #7 needles instead of the #8 she calls for and it's been fine. I would highly recommend doing a gauge swatch, since the finished size does matter here. Otherwise, they knit up fairly quickly and make a beautiful finished product.
eta: I would think anything knit in the round, with legs and requiring a Kitchener graft would definitely be considered intermediate, if not advanced. I think you'll be just fine.
