Yeah, that argyle pattern looks pretty complicated if you're just starting out, but if you are determined, you can do it! My advice for joining a new color is to just "do" it, the first stitch is gonna be loose but once you have a few rows done, you can just pull on the tail to tighten it up, and then, of course you just sew the tail in when you are done. HTH!
I would do up a simple striped scarf first to get the hang of changing colors.
