I do not have it, but Theresa normally tells you on her site if it is for beginners or not, and she is right on with that info. But from the people I know who have it say it is pretty easy.

Hi.....
I'm just finishing up my 2nd LTK apron top.... As far as experience goes, I've done my fair share of knittin: lots of hats, scarves, and a few sweaters that came out a little wacky... I'm one step above beginnerhood, I think...
The LTK apron top IS easy.... basically one step beyond knitting a square. You'll need to know how to knit, purl, decrease (called ssk). The hard part for me was at the end when I had to crochet around the edges... but Theresa helped me out and it looked good in the end. There are no seams or fancy stitches.
Soooo, it IS indeed a good beginner's project. Ignore, however, the part where it says "Knit one up in an evening for your girl to wear tomorrow".... I made a size 6 month and it took a week, and the 18 month size I just made for my own is going on week #3, I think.... Maybe if I HAD a full evening to knit these days.....

the LTK site has a discussion board and there are a few finished apron tops on there.... it's also where you can get advice... It's a really good resource....
ok.. sorry this is so long!

I find that looking at knitting patterns as the whole really freaks me out... when I do the "one step at a time" approach, it is MUCH easier, and suddenly the patterns turn out easier than they look....
That said, I do my fair share of rippinit

The LTK apron top was my first project and I thought it was very do-able
