Thanks for the K!

Of course it's worth the trouble DixieGal. I'm sure Walmart's doilies can't compare with the quality and elegant detail of a hand crafted piece made with your own hands. There's just no comparison. And don't you crochet simply for the pleasure of it?
I know whereof I speak. I crochet doilies (and many other things) simply for the fun and relaxation of it, just like reading. I've got dozens of completed doilies and I know that no store-bought one can compare to mine. I hardly ever use them (except for lining a basket or tray mostly) but I enjoyed the hell out of making them.
