What are doilies for?

I don't know, but I made one and it's pretty. At first I had it sitting on the back of the toilet in an effort to give that place some distinction and class. Now I have it draped across the television cozy in my bedroom directly underneath a framed filet crochet wall hanging hooked my my uncle. I figure cotton thread goes with cotton thread. I have another doily on the tiny ass hook already as phase 1 of my banjo prettification initiative.  More on that venture to come sometime soon.
