I recently decided I would like to have an industrial serger when lo and behold I found a used Yamato Z series for sale!  Trouble is, I don't know much about industrial brands.  Does anyone have any feedback?  Thanks!

I finished this in the fall, but I never got as far as posting it.  It was done for a nephew's wedding, and I chose the colors based on two of his favorite sports teams:  the St. Louis Blues and Mizzou football.


I didn't have enough of any one color to do the back, so I took the leftovers from the top, added a brighter yellow, and pieced that sucker. 

I loved this pattern but didn't have enough of any color to make repeating stripes.  I decided to go with the scrappy look, and I'll be donating it to Project Linus.  The pattern is here http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2009/04/abstract-crochet-cats.html

I used the star afghan pattern and substituted cotton thread for yarn to make these washcloths.  I gave them to a 4 and 8 year old, and they loved them.  I used the pattern here http://www.angelfire.com/va3/heartfeltangels/littlestarafghan.html.
