Crochet Pineapple Progress

My work on the crochet pineapple tablecloth, which i thought would be really hard, is coming along really well and quickly! it's so easy! the pattern has a lot of repetition but enough changes to keep it interesting. i can't wait to make another one for my mom and maybe even another for my apartment in baltimore. i thought i would include some pics so you could finally see what i'm talking about with this whole pineapple business. i should be writing a paper, or asleep, but what ya gonna do? im oddly ambivalent and completely unmotivated this year for finals, im way too burnt out and apathetic to even care right now/the last few weeks. i need a break and i am kinda feeling ready to leave Paris. i love it here and i've been having the most amazing experience of my life, but it is a long time to be away from home and out of my comfort zone.

crochet crochet crochet! all i want to do all day is craft, it's kinda a problem when there are papers and 11 exams left to take. (Why I have 11 exams for 5 classes is just Satan's work/the french university system/ unfair. don't wanna talk about it) This is the first time I've ever put pictures on the blog so if it doesn't work right, then whoops my bad! (Clockwise from top left: 1. the tablecloth: a work in progress! it is splayed out on my bed, and it covers the width of my twin bed! so much bigger than i thought it would be at this point!, 2. a close up view of the pineapple pattern, 3. a piece of paper (my final exam schedule baarrghhhhhhffffffkkkk) on the tablecloth for scale, and 4. a broach/pin i bought at an adorable adorable store today full of the cutest things for crafting, home decor, randomness, and clothing (it was kinda like a smaller girlier version of Amsterdam's Kitsch Kitchen, my favorite place in the world.) and the best espadrille sandals ever that were super out of my price range.
