I'm halfway through the giant puzzle! Make sure to watch until the end to see just how big the first two sections are, put together and hung on my wall 😮

"It's such a beautiful day out" = "more time for puzzling" is exactly the kind of logic I am here for

[NeoDobbyRavenclaw]

If you've never done a puzzle, you cannot imagine the experience of running your hands over a finished puzzle (or even a big section) and feel the texture of all the interconnections of the pieces. It's so satisfying! I've never done a puzzle this big though. My biggest one was the 9000 piece astrology puzzle that you also did. And I have another 9000 piece one of an old world map that has its first half finished since a few years ago. Watching your videos makes me want to get into puzzling again and finally finish the map. :D

"It's so beautiful outside, it would be a waste of a great day if I didn't enjoy all this light light by... locking myself inside the entire day to work on this puzzle!" xD
Honestly, this is a mood and I'm 100% here for it; I felt that on a spiritual level ;p

[elenaalina]

That missing piece gave me anxiety for like 5 seconds until you found it laying under the table. Such a huge relief 😌 and it's not even my puzzle haha.

Thank you doesn’t being to convey the gratitude I feel for your video of this life puzzle being in my feed and for you making it. After watching your first video of you getting the puzzle it made me want to get a puzzle to try, I bought a 1500 puzzle and got intimidated, so I bought a simple 500 puzzle, I started to put it together and without asking my 17 and 10 year old started helping me. And then a moment that I thought I’d never know, my 10 yr old looked at me and said”this is better than playing Minecraft and roblox, thanks for doing this so we can all bond, can we do another!” I held back tears, and I know people will think this is stupid, but I just wanted to thank you for a memory I will treasure forever. Thank you.

One of the most satisfying things when I'm doing a puzzle is "the puzzle caress." I see you do it and I'm sure most people do. When you get that section complete and you need the tactile feedback of running your hand lovingly over it (sometimes many times) over the entire section (also to be sure there isn't a piece missing that you didn't see). So satisfying. Surprisingly, it even "feels" good to see someone else do it too.

Looks great on the wall. Really shows off the accomplishment. Only joined your channel recently and up to now it was mostly headshots. No sense of your height. So that was fun, too.

Well let me join the others by acknowledging and thanking you for your commitment to puzzling for us and documenting all the aspects in the process. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Looking forward to the puzzles to come. And thanks to your sister for the organization of the stats. That's interesting too. Keep it up, you puzzle tiger!

[JSanime]

I'm so glad the mystery piece was solved. Also the tiger should be friends with Franklin the Flying Fish. 😁

[derangedone]

Flying fish name: Icarus; Edit: NO! It should be Ichthyrus! A combo of Ichthyology (study of fish) and Icarus!

[asjchy]

Hey Karen.. I got interested in puzzles through you and now have almost done 50 puzzles in just 3 months. It has become an obsession!!! Thank you for the introduction to puzzles. ❤️

[TheTfroggy]

I soo just want to get this huge puzzle, gather a group of friends, go rent a cabin in the woods fir a week and then just tackle this. That would be so much fun.

[petrescuework-difficultcas]

Yay, mistery piece found its place 😊

Flying fish's name should be Steve. He looks like a Steve.

[evaschild]

14 weeks ago I became a mother and since then I have no time for puzzling anymore. Thanks to Karen I can still enjoy this relaxing hobby while my baby sleeps lying on my chest.

[bluji]

What I absolutely love about your videos is how methodical and even analytical you are about doing puzzles. It's a huge joy to watch and your passion over puzzles really relays to the viewer. Good luck on the second half!

[brittneywilliams]

You should save all your puzzledust! I wanna see a jar of colorful acomplishments!

[agatasaata]

I've started a 6000 piece puzzle of my own, I definitely relate to abandoning all of my responsibilities and just puzzling instead :D Once I sit down and start digging in the puzzle boxes, I can't stop

[alisonlove]

I like your sorting out skills that's helped me out doing puzzles.

[TheMarionetteKitty]

"It's a beautiful day out" = "Stay inside and enjoy my hobbies with my favorite snacks" is something that speaks to my soul

[lostsoul]

Excellent job.

I finally finished mine ( bought it 6 years ago ). I lost interest in it several times so it sat untouched for over a year several times until I saw you do the 1st section and it got me interested again. I did half of section 3 and all of section 4 in a month. Now I just have to hang it.

Good luck.

I was really worried that Karen would forget to remove the tape from the piece XD
