Excellent Suggestions!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to the many creative commenters who contributed their 2-cents to possible doily uses.  Because of you, I laughed, got inspired, and casted on another doily.   This new, smaller doily will be a tester pancake for some of your spray starch and/or Plexiglas ideas.  Heaven help me, but I have images of doilies suspended from the ceiling, hanging in the window, and sprawled across the fence.  Luckily -- for the nona-family -- these are only images dancing in my head.   Speaking of crazy fiber uses, check out this crochet chair.

The original doily is temporarily flung over a chair awaiting its ultimate fate, which is TBD and depends on the above experiment.  Here's one last peek with a few requested project details.

Pattern:	Stor Rund Dug
Yarn:	Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift; 100% pure Shetland Wool; 105m per ball in Cinnamon (6 balls) and Chestnut (1.5 balls).  The green was a bit of yarn I "borrowed" from my Mermaid Sweater.  If substituting yarn, I estimate that this doily takes about 800m (880 yards).  But be sure to have extra, you know, just in case.
Needles:	US 4; double pointed, 16", 24", and 40" circular
Dimensions:	44" diameter after blocking
