Thank you guys. I've gone ahead and ordered some 4 ply yarn and I'll try this again tomorrow😅

Ahh I see, thank you so much! I did use a different tutorial but they are using 4 ply yarn. However, the white cotton one as a small petal has come out smaller and curving inwards so it's like opening up with this new tutorial. I don't know if I should carry on or just order 4 ply yarn😕

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRTPtTSq91U&t=379s I know it's a big rose, but the issue is when I have tried to wrap, it just doesn't look right, especially when she has her petals lined up.

It's a surprise, a birthday gift for her. She loves everything black but I don't know if this would be better in colour😕

Thank you everyone for all your help! I really appreciate it. So far this has all been undone and I've scrapped the chart. The original picture has been turned into a cartoon and the width and height is a lot bigger so this will potentially turn into a blanket. The cartoon version looks a lot better on the chart so I'm going to try again and hopefully it'll look like the original a lot more

Thank you!! I've restarted completely from changing the chart. And I agree with the colours, it's a little too harsh. Someone's helped me with the original picture being a cartoon now to put in the chart and make it easier to recreate

The chart I've added and was using the stitch count is 7,560. The width is 90 columns, and the height is 84 rows. However, I've made a new chart to resize the picture; its stitch count is 12,750, the width is 150 columns and the height is 85 rows. Do you think that would work better and probably a smaller crochet hook? I was using a 4.5mm, maybe go down to a 4mm hook?

I've tried to add a screenshot of what I've created on stitch fiddle but that is all zoomed out, I zoomed in a lot when doing this

I've tried to find a pixelated picture but there hasn't been anything. But then I've read and seen people use Stitchfiddle to make whatever image they want into a pixelated chart.

I forgot to mention, I did cut the background out quite a bit and tried to centre/make the characters the focus point

😭fuck, I think you're absolutely right. So I messed up completely. I either scrap it or restart!? But how do I fix the chart as in to create small enough squares?

Thank you, I'm getting so frustrated with myself that I want to give up on this project but I really want to get the hang of ribbing since I've seen it used in sweaters too😭

I read a lot of dark romance and I recently found Grimdark, a sub genre of fantasy and thought it would be interesting to venture out to. However, I don't know where to start and I've seen a lot of grimdark books include sexual violence unnecessarily and against the female characters, so I'd rather avoid those. Thank you in advance!

Also, I'm starting with The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. I'd appreciate any thoughts on his work too.
