| I had to master the basic traditional Lee's Surrender pattern from Marguerite Porter Davison's A Handweaver's Pattern Book  |
 |
| I set up the loom and got started, but I broke my wrist in June and all weaving was put on hold. |
 |
| The possibilities spread out before me but I had to wait! |
 |
| Finally after 6 months I felt I have the stamina to get back to the loom, but I could only pull the beater with my right hand. As a discipline to really learn the pattern I did six pretty much matching mats of the basic traditional Lee's Surrender design. |
 |
| White variations done in the Egyptian cotton 20/2 that I used on the warp |
 |
| A bookmark |
 |
| a border idea for a lampshade |
 |
| fringed trim idea done with black wool |
 |
| My favorite variation done in Cottolin |
 |
| cottolin and vintage cotton yarn |
 |
I did the plain weave base
alternating with the 20/2 egyptian cotton
and the heavier green and red yarns
|
 |
Design sampler with reds and oranges, many different textures
|
 |
| This piece will be a wall hanging |
  |
| Back to the drawing board... |
 |
| Lee's Surrender is a very generative pattern! |
