Pineapple Table Runner in size 20 thread, wip

I am making a table runner/tablecloth for my mother. I'm testing out to see if I like the pattern. So far, I like the pattern, but not the thread and hook combo.
I'm using Aunt Lydia's Fine Crochet size 20 and a Boye size 10 hook. This might be too small for me: It will take forever to even make a table runner with this pattern! I've made about 4 motifs so far.

There's more info at my Ravelry project page.
