For speedy results the pattern collection includes some basic items that make ideal first lace projects.

Follow Your Arrow dried a bit quicker than I thought it would. So fast that I didn't get the points pinned out. It will come home for the weekend and I'll re-Soak it. The big problem is that my blocking wires and pins are packed somewhere. I'll be scrounging through the basement tonight.
