How Difficult is It?

I have never sewn with knits. I desperately want to try but I'm very intimidated. I have seen so many cute hopscotch tops and dresses in the flickr group lately. I have some interlock to try it out. How difficult is this pattern as a first time knit sewer? Is there a better pattern to try? Are there any tips or tricks that I should know before starting? I have a serger but the one time I tried playing with knits it seemed like the seam wasn't all that tight. When I turned the fabric over and pulled the two pieces apart, I could easily see about 1/4 inch of thread between the fabric. Is there a setting I should be changing? I generally have it set up for a 4 thread overlock stitch.
