Jigsaw Jigsaw is for pros but a jigsaw is fun to try while stuck indoors for winter and even better if it has all the jigsaw pieces and no jigsaw piece missing. Well done, on this amazing Jigsaw Jigsaw .
I don't know if I'd even be brave enough to try! I got 1000 sailor moon puzzle because you inspired me, and you make it look so eaay! It's not easy! Haha! 🤣
I would not for all those reasons but I do love the humor of this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle Cheers Edit: Also- I loved your suggestions for improving that puzzle… I would definitely do it with those improvements
Good for you for finishing Jigsaw’s jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. No way would I have finished the jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. It is my biggest jigsaw puzzle annoyance, when a jigsaw puzzle piece fits into a million different places within the jigsaw puzzle. I love your videos so much. I’ve done jigsaw puzzles for years, but since I found your channel a few months ago, you’ve inspired me to expand my jigsaw puzzle horizon. I’ve finally ventured away from 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles and have now done a 1500 piece and a few 2000 piece jigsaw puzzles. I love the challenge and I like that it’s a bit more of a project that takes a little longer to complete. Take care and please keep the videos coming!
Thanks for the jigsaw jigsaw review Karen! Great to see it completed! I think your jigsaw criticisms and jigsaw suggestions are totally fair. This is the first jigsaw I've ever designed and the joke of the jigsaw jigsaw was definitely a priority over the puzzle aspect, but it was only when I started trying to complete the jigsaw jigsaw myself that I saw how frustrating the design actually was to solve beyond the central recursive boxes. That said, in the year since I first made this I've had maybe a dozen people tell me that they, or their (now estranged?) friends and family have completed it :) I like the ideas of adding colour or a pattern to the box, they make a lot of sense, although tbh I do quite like the black and white aesthetic! As for the quality of the production itself, I really appreciate your insights. That has been quite hard to control from my end and has occasionally been disappointing on some units, but it's certainly something I want to improve with the next print run. Thanks for taking the time to make a video video about it!
fun fact: the image on this jigsaw follows a recursive pattern known as the "Droste effect", named after a Dutch cocoa company, Droste, that would use this type of repeating image on their tins! I have a few Droste tins and cups at home and it's fascinating to see the image on the tin repeat itself on the tin the person in the image is holding, repeat ad infinitum until the image becomes too small.
I would look at that jigsaw on the shelf at the store, say to myself "That's interesting" and keep walking to the next shelf of jigsaw puzzles to add to my jigsaw collection. I hate jigsaws where you can't tell if the jigsaw pieces are in the correct place in the jigsaw. But, I love your detailed reviews of all the jigsaw puzzles. Thanks and please keep up the good work!
I’d love to see a video where you go into depth about how puzzles are made! I didn’t know the dies (dice?) looked like that. Maybe puzzle factory tour?!
I appreciate you comparing this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle to "The Monster Mash" because I think about that frequently. Also when you said, "I just have two of the same shirt... like a cartoon character" I literally laughed out loud.
"I really thought I was starting off the year with a relatively simple puzzle" KAREN, I screamed when you said this 😂 Honestly I really appreciate you doing these puzzles I never would have the patience to do, the videos that result are very enjoyable and make me *feel* like I've essentially done them 😂
I’m one that doesn’t like to quit, but I would take my time and breaks if it means finishing the puzzle!!! I just love this puzzle it’s funny! Thank you for sharing
Wow!! That was a crazy jigsaw to start the year with! Definitely a jigsaw I'd not even attempt! For a novelty jigsaw I'll stick with the jigsaw I got for Christmas - a double-sided, 100 piece jigsaw of Brussels sprouts!! Now that's my kind of novelty jigsaw!!
By the way I am from Iran, I'm sure you wouldn't have expected an audience who live so far. And I have listened to that podcast too. I can totally see how you could have been one of my coolest friends.
I love the energy you bring to your videos! It’s really nice to see someone so genuinely delighted with their work and hobbies. Seeing you so sincerely happy brought a smile to my face! +1 subscriber
Kind of jealous you finished this puzzle! My husband got it for me for Christmas last year and while the middle section was pretty easy/ fun to put together, the lack of different shapes and the fact they didn't all fit together well made me go crazy! I finally gave up when we couldn't get the boarder to work! We also have 4 black pieces that were different black! I thought I was crazy!
Thank you Karen Puzzles, no idea how I found your Chanel but been loving it for over a year. The content is so soothing and the way you edit is fantastic!,!! New subscriber! 😊
Came here from the Stand-up Maths video. I really liked this video; I honestly wouldn't have thought that watching someone solve a puzzle could be so entertaining :) I think it's fascinating how you sorted the pieces beforehand and were super methodical. When I solve a jigsaw puzzle, I always start out super chaotic and just randomly put stuff together at first. Only when I hit a bit of a dead end, I start solving it more methodical. Also, I kinda wanted to buy and solve this puzzle myself, but your review kinda put me off of it a bit, haha :)
I wouldn’t even attempt to do this jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. I don’t mind a challenge in a puzzle if I love the image but I know for this one I would get the puzzle sorted and decide to bag it up right away to out be put back in the box. Your commentary is a delight on these crazy puzzles. I can’t wait to see what other puzzles you have for us this year.
I absolutely adore jigsaw puzzles and I once did a jigsaw puzzle of someone putting together a jigsaw puzzle which was cool... but this takes jigsaw inception to a whole new jigsaw level. I think I would have completed this jigsaw of a jigsaw puzzle but only because I'm a completionist and really DNF anything. I'm not gonna pretend it wouldn't have taken me a year or more... but I would have persevered... that's what puzzle storage caddies are for, right? For those puzzles that need to go into timeout or are only done well in daylight. I kind of hope they'll consider doing more jigsaw puzzles because there's a lot of cool stuff in math that could create some really cool patterns for jigsaw puzzle images or even shapes! Imagine a jigsaw puzzle of tessellating geometric shapes and the jigsaw puzzle pieces are cut into tesselating shapes themselves! It would feel like one of those IQ quizzes where you're supposed to say the written word and not the color its written in or vice versa.
Loved watching this jigsaw of a jigsaw of a jigsaw vid. I've been commenting a lot just to try to boost. But I also want to say that your "Omg what a world" in an upbeat attitude is the exact kind of energy I need right now. I too am in the middle of "enjoying the challenge" but still wondering "is it worth it?"
this puzzle makes my mathy side of me happy. It reminds me of the concept of a mandelbrot sequence. Where the same repeats but smaller to create and infinite edge :) It's such a shame a lot of the black isn't actually black though. Or maybe a kindof Taylor series where the jigsaw in the jigsaw is the 'derivative' of the jigsaw box. lol
I don't like giving up on a jigsaw. I think I would have persevered with the jigsaw jigsaw. I was encouraging you not to give up so I'm glad to see you finished this jigsaw.
Your background changed! :) Looks so fresh and new, displaying different *jugsaw* puzzles. Honestly... I don't think I would've finished this *jigsaw* puzzle. I'm not a pro *jigsaw* puzzler, so.... I'd get frustrated with this *jigsaw* for sure. It is a fun *jigsaw* idea, though
Happy puzzling Karen! I LOVE the new setup on the shelves. Everything looks calming and to perfection. Great job haha. When you said you were like a cartoon character with the shirts I almost spit my tea out laughing 🤣 same girl same. Love your videos and love you. Hope you have a great day.
Jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw.... Hello from Germany! Ever since the pandemic happens I (re)discovered my love for puzzles. And shortly after that I found your chanel. I love how you bring so much excitment and joy into your videos! As it is my biggest pet peeve are pieces that could fit the same way into several places. So I guess, I would have given up on this one. Though, I love the very original idea of it! P.S. I also love the new arranged shelf in your backdrop.
I love your new background, it's so serene! The piecework _jigsaws_ are so pretty😍 Also, I'm definitely taking that podcast recommendation, that sounds really interesting! I love when there's a podcast series you can just fly through when doing _jigsaws_ and other tasks
Fun! I saw the jigsaw jigsaw video on Standup Maths that brought me here! My daughter and I enjoy jigsaws and I almost bought this, but it sounds like the idea of the jigsaw jigsaw is much more fun in theory than in this iteration at least. Thanks for taking us through the process and helping Matt with his puzzling jigsaw maths question.
Jigsaw, jigsaw,jigsaw puzzle! Karen I watch you alot especially when I'm working on my puzzle. I hope you have alot in store for 2022. Been watching alot of old ones..Keep puzzling dont stop. I think I may finish may take me a bit if I were to do this puzzle. Lol
I have watched many of your videos, but hadn't seen this one until now. I came here because Matt Parker just dropped a new video and mentioned (even linked to) you. I am subscribed to both you and Stand Up Maths. Keep up the good work.
Wow, who knew that the Jigsaw's Jigsaws jigsaw jigsaw puzzle would be so intense! That loose fit coupled with the large, single colour sections would drive me absolutely batty. On another topic, your current background reminds me that it's you I need to thank/blame for my Cloudberries obsession. I just finished their Crossroads jigsaw (a Christmas present from my jigsaw-addiction enabling family), and I think it was my favourite Cloudberries jigsaw I've done so far! If you haven't done that design yet, I can highly recommend it for all of the tiny, cute, colourful details (including teeny little sheep!). It's basically the jigsaw antidote to jigsaw jigsaw frustration.
As a (somewhat) avid jigsaw puzzler myself and a bit of a completionist, I definitely would have completed this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. This was the first jigsaw puzzle video I've seen of yours coming from a math channel talking about the same jigsaw puzzle. I really appreciate your comments on the quality and practicality of this jigsaw puzzle, including why the jigsaw puzzle makers would have repeated a pattern (to reduce the size of their jigsaw). Cheers!
Omg! Definitely one of my pet peeves is having pieces that can fit anywhere in a puzzle (which, unfortunately, is very common in Brazil). That's why I stay way from puzzles with no distinguished information on its image. Great video!
Hey Karen, love the video! Nearly a year ago I was given the jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw as a birthday present - in fact, it was the one that Matt Parker sold on eBay - so it's a signed copy. Watching your video makes me feel a lot better about how long it's taking my wife and me! Getting your professional opinion on it being a bit wobbly in places makes me feel better, and I will confess to using screenshots of your video in a few places to try and get the inner frame done. Not finished yet, but nice to know about the rotation on the cut, and that it is *possible* to finish it!
Karen,I love you trying to shake the idea that we never get to see the Jigsaw Jigsaw puzzle (like we never get to hear the Monster Mash?!) Lol! Also loved the suspense of waiting to find out if you were going to finish it or not (even though we know you too well to think you’d abandon something that close to the finish line!) Great idea for a puzzle and fun kick off video for the new year! BTW - The puzzle shelves are so calm and clear, and those puzzles on the (screen) left are just gorgeous! Looking forward to watching you add new favorites this year :)
You are amazing! I've been stuck on a Lincoln black & white photomosaic puzzle that I already did once but that one got ruined. Love that you pushed through and finished this one. So cool!
So satifying watching you complete this jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. I was cheering you on the whole time. I would have quit but i thrilled you completed it.
I'm coming from Matt's youttube channel, nice to meet you! I have tried the "new york workers lunch" puzzle a while ago and finally give up. So for sure I know this one is also not a jigsaw for me. Well done by you and thank you for sharing your thoughts about the jigsaw. If you like these kind of jigsaw, I remember "Apfelmann im Wunderland" ("The Elusive Beauty of Fractals") from Spektrum in the late 90s. I haven't done it, but somehow it is on my todo list since then.
I just stumbled onto your channel, and let me say I LOVE IT! This puzzle looks so dang fun to do, I'm going to see if I can find it. My first 5 puzzles this time around of me wanting to get back into doing them were of deer, bucks for the most part for my brother, and he hung them onto his walls. Now I am working on a Paris themed one, eiffel tower one to match one of my comforters I have for my bedroom to hang when I put it back on the bed, after I take the buffalo checked black and red off. I've searched high and low for a puzzle for the buffalo checked comforter, not having any luck. I started doing my puzzles after my heart attack and open heart surgery, not being able to stand the too cold air and having wind hit my chest where my scar is, and have to keep moving to different spots in my apt in order to be comfy, but found foam poster board at my local Dollar Tree store for $1.00. I got 6 of them to keep around, but do need to get more. Like you said we have to flip the puzzles to tape or glue them together, so having extras on hand sure isn't hurting the end process. I just subscribed to your channel, as I love watching your videos, also clicked the notification bell so I don't miss any. I would so love to do a much bigger puzzle but OMG, the prices on them sure did change my mind. I don't see how anyone can afford them. I didn't keep the first 5 puzzle boxes as they're not in my apt, so didn't see any need to take up extra room for empty boxes, but do have pictures of the finished ones just for myself. I've searched fb marketplace close to me for puzzles, to no avail, and 2nd, I am afraid pieces would be missing, and to do a puzzle and get to the end with pieces not there is so disheartening, not to say aggravated to no end LOL. So I stick to buying them new, to lessen the chances of that problem. But I just wanted to tell you to keep up the great work on your channel vlogging, because you have a new subscriber watching. And before I got this comment done,, you have already put a link down below to buy, so that saved me some searching. Thank You Karen!
My nana had black and grey jigsaw puzzles of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley where the overall picture of them was made up of a bunch of tiny pictures of them. There were maybe 20 smaller pictures of them that were used HUNDREDS of time - it was killer. I started it, then didn’t enjoy the first 2 days of the jigsaw puzzle. It was only when I was halfway through that o actually started enjoying it! If you’re up for a challenging one, I’d love to see you tackle it :) I did it across 2 weeks maybe 2-3 days in total spent on it. I would love to see how you tackle it and how fast you can do it! I did the Marilyn one and have refused to even look at the Elvis one haha maybe in a few years time 😅😂
No, I would definitely pass on this puzzle. I appreciate your honest review of the puzzles you receive. There's probably several people out there who watch your review and will buy this puzzle to work or for a white elephant gift or they will go to the website and find something else to purchase. Either way it's a win they sent it to you.
Well done! I wouldn't even start this jigsaw - colour and brightness and relatively easy jigsaws for me!. But I love watching you achieve these difficult jigsaw puzzles, so glad you are back after your holiday break!
This is such a funny puzzle, but the most ironic thing about this jigsaw puzzle is that it's a jigsaw jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw puzzle, etc. etc., BUT... it was actually a die cut puzzle where no actual jigsaw was used, as you showed (and I learned) in this video. Which makes this THE most enigmatic and ironic jigsaw puzzle, IMHO. :) [ BTW, I dropped in from Stand-up Maths' channel. ]
Thank you jigsaw master for the new jigsaw video. That’s one interesting jigsaw concept right there, well done finishing this jigsaw challenge! Nice and clean new background jigsaw shelf arrangement. Sincerely /jigsaw fan
Thank you for finishing this jigsaw puzzle, a jigsaw I would have never have purchased because it looked like a difficult jigsaw but, like you, I think it was a fun jigsaw!
I had a Jigsaw puzzle which was just Frozen's Olaf over and over again and I quit that after about a month of being stuck at it, so I don't think I would have finished it. Kudos to you!
I'd eventually finish the jigsaw puzzle, but it'd take me a long time! I've done a couple similar Jigsaws that are very monochromatic and have finished those Jigsaw puzzles. There's a Haunted Mansion jigsaw puzzle that is 3 colors, green, black and grey, with huge sections of one color only. Took me a month, but I did finish the jigsaw puzzle!
I think the first puzzle I ever fell in love with was the original Salamander Shmuzzle Puzzle. Fits together millions of wrong ways, but only one right way!
Holy Smokes ! What a jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw box . You keep finding the most unusual jigsaw puzzles. Could I do this jigsaw ? That’s a No. I’m not a Jigsaw Expert and get easily discouraged by difficult jigsaws. I like doing jigsaws and have been doing jigsaws for ……ahem…a long time , but this jigsaw looks too difficult for me. When I was a kid, I did jigsaws that were pictures of barns , lakes, mountains, goats , and other boring jigsaws , but when I was a kid, they didn’t have the selection in jigsaws as they do now . Now you can buy such an assortment of jigsaws. Colorful jigsaws, all one color jigsaws, jigsaws that are round, huge jigsaws, tiny jigsaws …. Great jigsaw video, as always. You always make me chuckle, Karen , when I watch your jigsaw puzzle videos. Ok, I used jigsaw 20 times . 😁
I love the plants amongst all the jigsaw puzzles! I'm not really patient enough to do jigsaw puzzles, but I like jigsaw puzzles. Jigsaw is my favorite type of puzzle. Jigsaw!
JIGSAW "infinity " You did good; bad quality puzzle which makes it boring, but your video analysis made it so much fun!! I not only would never had finished it...especially never would have purchased it. However, your video was excellent...the puzzle, as you say, "good enough ".
This Jigsaw puzzle seems to be harder than it looks. I used to do Jigsaw puzzles all the time but really haven't done a Jigsaw puzzle in about a decade. I'm glad I found your channel and am thinking about doing Jigsaw Puzzles again. I just got my mom a Mystery Jigsaw puzzle on Kickstarter (it just arrived right after Christmas). Actually, I got her all 3 Jigsaw puzzles that were available but only gave her one Jigsaw puzzle so far.
I appreciate all your attention to detail regarding jigsaw puzzles and the expectations you have about jigsaw puzzles. A jigsaw puzzle like this would really drive me crazy. Unfortunately once I start a jigsaw puzzle I have to finish the jigsaw puzzle no matter how much the jigsaw puzzle drives me crazy. So yes, I would have finished this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle from Jigsaw, but it would have taken me much much much longer than you.
what a JIGSAWESOME video!! would’ve DEFINITELY given up on jigsaws jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw of a jigsaw of a jigsaw. too many pictures of jigsaws and too many words of “jigsaws jigsaw” in it. but definitely impressed on you finishing this jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw!!! 10/10 jigsaw puzzling!! 🧩😄
I would definitely finish this jigsaw puzzle, as apposed to quitting. Even if it means setting it aside in order to do another one, and going back from time to time. I'm funny this way. If I'm going to start a jigsaw puzzle, I have to finish it regardless how long it takes me. Jigsaw puzzles are great for the mind, and mental health for everyone. As I've always had worked on jigsaw puzzles since I was a kid, it is a very rare thing for me to not finish one. Thank you Karen for your helpful advice and input on this jigsaw puzzle, as I feel that it would be worth buying this and giving it a chance.
I probably would have stopped. More power to you for finishing it! My brain would have just stopped and been like what even is this peice I'm looking at it lmao. Although when you said the jigsaw jigsaw puzzle my brain had to hear that like 5 times it's still trippy lol
"As he was watching your adventures, others were watching his. They were with him in the bookstore. They were with him when he took the _jigsaw_ ... He doesn't realize he's already part of The Neverending Story." The 4th wall of jigsaw puzzles will soon be broken.
I just saw your cameo in Stand-Up Maths video on jigsaw puzzle piece counts! It was a little like seeing your teacher in the grocery store… Thanks to you and your channel I am now hooked on jigsaw puzzles. Your videos are always worth a smile! Puzzle just finished: Ravensburger 2000 piece “If Fish Could Walk.” Loved the whimsical artwork. Question: have you ever considered reviewing puzzling accessories? Trays, boards, tables, scoops, etc.? I recently bought some nesting trays because I found using other puzzle boxes got a bit awkward after a while. The only issue with this particular set of trays is that they nest a bit too snugly, so unsnapping too forcefully results in a tray-buchet reaction…. “Jigsaw, as many times as possible!”
I probably would’ve tried to finish the jigsaw puzzle of jigsaws because I like doing jigsaw puzzles while listening to audiobooks. Funny that you mention Monster Mash. Geoff Castellucci did a cover of this song (on RUclips) a few months ago where his backup singers (which is himself as Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein) do the monster mash. It’s great fun and I think you’d love it.
What do you think of this puzzle? Is it one you would want to try?
Jigsaw Jigsaw is for pros but a jigsaw is fun to try while stuck indoors for winter and even better if it has all the jigsaw pieces and no jigsaw piece missing. Well done, on this amazing Jigsaw Jigsaw .
YIKES! I would not try it. I would never complete it. It would sit on my shelf collecting dust. Kudos for this video. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I don't know if I'd even be brave enough to try! I got 1000 sailor moon puzzle because you inspired me, and you make it look so eaay! It's not easy! Haha! 🤣
I know I could complete it but it would take me far too long and I definitely would not enjoy it. Not my type of image. I need colour.
I would not for all those reasons but I do love the humor of this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle
Cheers
Edit: Also- I loved your suggestions for improving that puzzle… I would definitely do it with those improvements

I’ve finally ventured away from 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles and have now done a 1500 piece and a few 2000 piece jigsaw puzzles. I love the challenge and I like that it’s a bit more of a project that takes a little longer to complete. Take care and please keep the videos coming!
You had so much fun with this comment haha
I'm 100% not beating this comment. Congrats on moving up to the bigger puzzles! I'm still knocking around between 750 and 1000.
:D
I just clicked on the video and wonder if the code word is jigsaw puzzle😂
So at least I was close😂😂
When people in SEO forums ask what is keyword stuffing 😅
Funny, despite the fact that they left the border in, they still managed to cut corners on this puzzle
lollll
Thanks for the jigsaw jigsaw review Karen! Great to see it completed! I think your jigsaw criticisms and jigsaw suggestions are totally fair. This is the first jigsaw I've ever designed and the joke of the jigsaw jigsaw was definitely a priority over the puzzle aspect, but it was only when I started trying to complete the jigsaw jigsaw myself that I saw how frustrating the design actually was to solve beyond the central recursive boxes. That said, in the year since I first made this I've had maybe a dozen people tell me that they, or their (now estranged?) friends and family have completed it :)

Thanks for taking the time to make a video video about it!
I’m so glad you liked the video and that I got to try your puzzle!
Great puzzle, well done!
Would it be a good thing if this was to become known as the "Parker Puzzle"? 😄
Ah yes! I was in your DMs so frustrated 😂 but I did finish somehow…
omg this is the collaboration that I truly never expected
fun fact: the image on this jigsaw follows a recursive pattern known as the "Droste effect", named after a Dutch cocoa company, Droste, that would use this type of repeating image on their tins! I have a few Droste tins and cups at home and it's fascinating to see the image on the tin repeat itself on the tin the person in the image is holding, repeat ad infinitum until the image becomes too small.
oh like the home depot buckets! thats so cool i didn't know it had a name
I don’t think they should have added colour, but it ought to have more varied piece shapes, and locked together better.
I would look at that jigsaw on the shelf at the store, say to myself "That's interesting" and keep walking to the next shelf of jigsaw puzzles to add to my jigsaw collection. I hate jigsaws where you can't tell if the jigsaw pieces are in the correct place in the jigsaw. But, I love your detailed reviews of all the jigsaw puzzles. Thanks and please keep up the good work!
I totally agree! 😀
I love your reorganized backdrop setup! And how youre organizing your puzzles! Love the plants, and the muted rainbow, super chic! 😄
I’d love to see a video where you go into depth about how puzzles are made! I didn’t know the dies (dice?) looked like that. Maybe puzzle factory tour?!
If she went on a puzzle factory tour, I'm certain that would be her most viewed video .
I appreciate you comparing this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle to "The Monster Mash" because I think about that frequently. Also when you said, "I just have two of the same shirt... like a cartoon character" I literally laughed out loud.
Karen, you are so good at storytelling. You add so much excitement and drama to every puzzle and video!
I was really hoping the inner puzzle would be made of smaller pieces with their own set of edges
"I really thought I was starting off the year with a relatively simple puzzle" KAREN, I screamed when you said this 😂 Honestly I really appreciate you doing these puzzles I never would have the patience to do, the videos that result are very enjoyable and make me *feel* like I've essentially done them 😂

Agreed! Wouldn’t even attempt this one, I LOVE colour and HATE bad quality jigsaws! Your Christmas present sounds so fun!
@@tiff2106 it was great fun to do! It's a well known fact in our family, how much I love sprouts, so the jigsaw was a perfect, fun gift😊
@@JudithARobinson I get you, I also love sprouts! 😊
I always finish my puzzles. Sometimes I put a really hard one aside and do another hobby, but I keep getting the puzzle out until it is finished.
Karen, even though I came to know your channel just a week ago, I've since watched most of your videos. You are awesome.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them!
By the way I am from Iran, I'm sure you wouldn't have expected an audience who live so far. And I have listened to that podcast too. I can totally see how you could have been one of my coolest friends.
Jigsaw! Egads - would have packed up that Jigsaw puzzle after doing the “fun” parts. Really love the new display layout in the bookcases.
I love the energy you bring to your videos! It’s really nice to see someone so genuinely delighted with their work and hobbies. Seeing you so sincerely happy brought a smile to my face! +1 subscriber
Thank you!
1:02 SHOTS FIRED AT CATCHUP PUZZLES 🔥
I don't mean to brag, but I put together a puzzle in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.
Kind of jealous you finished this puzzle! My husband got it for me for Christmas last year and while the middle section was pretty easy/ fun to put together, the lack of different shapes and the fact they didn't all fit together well made me go crazy! I finally gave up when we couldn't get the boarder to work! We also have 4 black pieces that were different black! I thought I was crazy!
Thank you Karen Puzzles, no idea how I found your Chanel but been loving it for over a year.
The content is so soothing and the way you edit is fantastic!,!! New subscriber! 😊
Like many others, I'm here from Stand Up Maths, so hello, Karen! 😁
Omg I've been wanting to do this puzzle for so long! So happy you finally did it!

Loved watching this jigsaw of a jigsaw of a jigsaw vid. I've been commenting a lot just to try to boost. But I also want to say that your "Omg what a world" in an upbeat attitude is the exact kind of energy I need right now. I too am in the middle of "enjoying the challenge" but still wondering "is it worth it?"

Honestly... I don't think I would've finished this *jigsaw* puzzle. I'm not a pro *jigsaw* puzzler, so.... I'd get frustrated with this *jigsaw* for sure. It is a fun *jigsaw* idea, though
Happy puzzling Karen! I LOVE the new setup on the shelves. Everything looks calming and to perfection. Great job haha. When you said you were like a cartoon character with the shirts I almost spit my tea out laughing 🤣 same girl same. Love your videos and love you. Hope you have a great day.
I love how you keep rearranging the pieces, my husband hates it when I do this to jigsaws we do together. 😂
Jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw....
Hello from Germany!
Ever since the pandemic happens I (re)discovered my love for puzzles. And shortly after that I found your chanel. I love how you bring so much excitment and joy into your videos!
As it is my biggest pet peeve are pieces that could fit the same way into several places. So I guess, I would have given up on this one. Though, I love the very original idea of it!
P.S. I also love the new arranged shelf in your backdrop.
I love your new background, it's so serene! The piecework _jigsaws_ are so pretty😍
Also, I'm definitely taking that podcast recommendation, that sounds really interesting! I love when there's a podcast series you can just fly through when doing _jigsaws_ and other tasks
I've had a delightful Sunday and then came home to a fresh video from our jigsaw puzzle friend and queen Karen! Yay! Jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw etc.....
Fun! I saw the jigsaw jigsaw video on Standup Maths that brought me here! My daughter and I enjoy jigsaws and I almost bought this, but it sounds like the idea of the jigsaw jigsaw is much more fun in theory than in this iteration at least. Thanks for taking us through the process and helping Matt with his puzzling jigsaw maths question.
Jigsaw, jigsaw,jigsaw puzzle! Karen I watch you alot especially when I'm working on my puzzle. I hope you have alot in store for 2022. Been watching alot of old ones..Keep puzzling dont stop. I think I may finish may take me a bit if I were to do this puzzle. Lol
You make puzzling so easy. I've been working on the same puzzle for a couple of weeks now.
I have watched many of your videos, but hadn't seen this one until now. I came here because Matt Parker just dropped a new video and mentioned (even linked to) you. I am subscribed to both you and Stand Up Maths. Keep up the good work.
I Love the new background!!! Those puzzles look so good together!
Wow, who knew that the Jigsaw's Jigsaws jigsaw jigsaw puzzle would be so intense! That loose fit coupled with the large, single colour sections would drive me absolutely batty.
On another topic, your current background reminds me that it's you I need to thank/blame for my Cloudberries obsession. I just finished their Crossroads jigsaw (a Christmas present from my jigsaw-addiction enabling family), and I think it was my favourite Cloudberries jigsaw I've done so far!
If you haven't done that design yet, I can highly recommend it for all of the tiny, cute, colourful details (including teeny little sheep!). It's basically the jigsaw antidote to jigsaw jigsaw frustration.
Looks fun. I have a hard time giving up on a jigsaw puzzle once I’ve started it. Jigsaw puzzles like this jigsaw jigsaw can be a nightmare!
This is one that I would have jigsaw had to finish. It was a nice jigsaw puzzle to watch you put together and I love the extra bit at the end.
How did I end up here? Your enthusiasm, and nerdy good nature, kept me watching.
As a (somewhat) avid jigsaw puzzler myself and a bit of a completionist, I definitely would have completed this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle.
This was the first jigsaw puzzle video I've seen of yours coming from a math channel talking about the same jigsaw puzzle. I really appreciate your comments on the quality and practicality of this jigsaw puzzle, including why the jigsaw puzzle makers would have repeated a pattern (to reduce the size of their jigsaw).
Cheers!
This jigsaw jigsaw puzzle was fun to watch! And I love your new jigsaw puzzle background. Beautiful!
Omg! Definitely one of my pet peeves is having pieces that can fit anywhere in a puzzle (which, unfortunately, is very common in Brazil). That's why I stay way from puzzles with no distinguished information on its image. Great video!
The puzzle inception is real! And I’m living for it!
Hey Karen, love the video! Nearly a year ago I was given the jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw as a birthday present - in fact, it was the one that Matt Parker sold on eBay - so it's a signed copy. Watching your video makes me feel a lot better about how long it's taking my wife and me! Getting your professional opinion on it being a bit wobbly in places makes me feel better, and I will confess to using screenshots of your video in a few places to try and get the inner frame done. Not finished yet, but nice to know about the rotation on the cut, and that it is *possible* to finish it!
Karen,I love you trying to shake the idea that we never get to see the Jigsaw Jigsaw puzzle (like we never get to hear the Monster Mash?!) Lol! Also loved the suspense of waiting to find out if you were going to finish it or not (even though we know you too well to think you’d abandon something that close to the finish line!) Great idea for a puzzle and fun kick off video for the new year! BTW - The puzzle shelves are so calm and clear, and those puzzles on the (screen) left are just gorgeous! Looking forward to watching you add new favorites this year :)
You are amazing! I've been stuck on a Lincoln black & white photomosaic puzzle that I already did once but that one got ruined. Love that you pushed through and finished this one. So cool!
So satifying watching you complete this jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. I was cheering you on the whole time. I would have quit but i thrilled you completed it.
I'm coming from Matt's youttube channel, nice to meet you! I have tried the "new york workers lunch" puzzle a while ago and finally give up. So for sure I know this one is also not a jigsaw for me. Well done by you and thank you for sharing your thoughts about the jigsaw. If you like these kind of jigsaw, I remember "Apfelmann im Wunderland" ("The Elusive Beauty of Fractals") from Spektrum in the late 90s. I haven't done it, but somehow it is on my todo list since then.
I love this jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw puzzle! So glad you finished it ❤️
*Mostly finished it 😅
You’ve inspired me to start doing puzzles! I love your videos ☺️
It's puzzles all the way down! Could be worse, could be spreadsheets
yessss, I should have thought of that to say in the video 😂
8:18 - is that a giggle, or a cry? :)
I'm glad you finished Jigsaw's Jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw puzzle!
I just stumbled onto your channel, and let me say I LOVE IT! This puzzle looks so dang fun to do, I'm going to see if I can find it. My first 5 puzzles this time around of me wanting to get back into doing them were of deer, bucks for the most part for my brother, and he hung them onto his walls. Now I am working on a Paris themed one, eiffel tower one to match one of my comforters I have for my bedroom to hang when I put it back on the bed, after I take the buffalo checked black and red off. I've searched high and low for a puzzle for the buffalo checked comforter, not having any luck. I started doing my puzzles after my heart attack and open heart surgery, not being able to stand the too cold air and having wind hit my chest where my scar is, and have to keep moving to different spots in my apt in order to be comfy, but found foam poster board at my local Dollar Tree store for $1.00. I got 6 of them to keep around, but do need to get more. Like you said we have to flip the puzzles to tape or glue them together, so having extras on hand sure isn't hurting the end process. I just subscribed to your channel, as I love watching your videos, also clicked the notification bell so I don't miss any. I would so love to do a much bigger puzzle but OMG, the prices on them sure did change my mind. I don't see how anyone can afford them. I didn't keep the first 5 puzzle boxes as they're not in my apt, so didn't see any need to take up extra room for empty boxes, but do have pictures of the finished ones just for myself. I've searched fb marketplace close to me for puzzles, to no avail, and 2nd, I am afraid pieces would be missing, and to do a puzzle and get to the end with pieces not there is so disheartening, not to say aggravated to no end LOL. So I stick to buying them new, to lessen the chances of that problem. But I just wanted to tell you to keep up the great work on your channel vlogging, because you have a new subscriber watching. And before I got this comment done,, you have already put a link down below to buy, so that saved me some searching. Thank You Karen!
My nana had black and grey jigsaw puzzles of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley where the overall picture of them was made up of a bunch of tiny pictures of them. There were maybe 20 smaller pictures of them that were used HUNDREDS of time - it was killer. I started it, then didn’t enjoy the first 2 days of the jigsaw puzzle. It was only when I was halfway through that o actually started enjoying it!
If you’re up for a challenging one, I’d love to see you tackle it :) I did it across 2 weeks maybe 2-3 days in total spent on it. I would love to see how you tackle it and how fast you can do it! I did the Marilyn one and have refused to even look at the Elvis one haha maybe in a few years time 😅😂
No, I would definitely pass on this puzzle. I appreciate your honest review of the puzzles you receive. There's probably several people out there who watch your review and will buy this puzzle to work or for a white elephant gift or they will go to the website and find something else to purchase. Either way it's a win they sent it to you.
Omw....I love puzzles. Thank you for sharing!!!♥️
Jigsaw a ton of times. I really enjoyed this video. Subscribed and look forward to this year's puzzles! First time viewing.
Well done! I wouldn't even start this jigsaw - colour and brightness and relatively easy jigsaws for me!. But I love watching you achieve these difficult jigsaw puzzles, so glad you are back after your holiday break!
This is such a funny puzzle, but the most ironic thing about this jigsaw puzzle is that it's a jigsaw jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw puzzle, etc. etc., BUT... it was actually a die cut puzzle where no actual jigsaw was used, as you showed (and I learned) in this video. Which makes this THE most enigmatic and ironic jigsaw puzzle, IMHO. :)
[ BTW, I dropped in from Stand-up Maths' channel. ]
Congrats on finishing the Jigsaw's Jigsaws Jigsaw jigsaw!
Such an excellent jigsaw to have a jigsaw of.
I love the new background! The library is looking great!
Thank you jigsaw master for the new jigsaw video. That’s one interesting jigsaw concept right there, well done finishing this jigsaw challenge!
Nice and clean new background jigsaw shelf arrangement.
Sincerely /jigsaw fan
I enjoyed this video about the jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw jigsaw puzzle. Nice work Karen!
Thank you for finishing this jigsaw puzzle, a jigsaw I would have never have purchased because it looked like a difficult jigsaw but, like you, I think it was a fun jigsaw!
I had a Jigsaw puzzle which was just Frozen's Olaf over and over again and I quit that after about a month of being stuck at it, so I don't think I would have finished it. Kudos to you!
I'd eventually finish the jigsaw puzzle, but it'd take me a long time! I've done a couple similar Jigsaws that are very monochromatic and have finished those Jigsaw puzzles. There's a Haunted Mansion jigsaw puzzle that is 3 colors, green, black and grey, with huge sections of one color only. Took me a month, but I did finish the jigsaw puzzle!
I think the first puzzle I ever fell in love with was the original Salamander Shmuzzle Puzzle. Fits together millions of wrong ways, but only one right way!
I remember that one!
Holy Smokes ! What a jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw box . You keep finding the most unusual jigsaw puzzles.
Could I do this jigsaw ? That’s a No. I’m not a Jigsaw Expert and get easily discouraged by difficult jigsaws. I like doing jigsaws and have been doing jigsaws for ……ahem…a long time , but this jigsaw looks too difficult for me. When I was a kid, I did jigsaws that were pictures of barns , lakes, mountains, goats , and other boring jigsaws , but when I was a kid, they didn’t have the selection in jigsaws as they do now . Now you can buy such an assortment of jigsaws. Colorful jigsaws, all one color jigsaws, jigsaws that are round, huge jigsaws, tiny jigsaws ….
Great jigsaw video, as always. You always make me chuckle, Karen , when I watch your jigsaw puzzle videos.
Ok, I used jigsaw 20 times . 😁
I love the plants amongst all the jigsaw puzzles!
I'm not really patient enough to do jigsaw puzzles, but I like jigsaw puzzles. Jigsaw is my favorite type of puzzle. Jigsaw!
JIGSAW "infinity "
You did good; bad quality puzzle which makes it boring, but your video analysis made it so much fun!! I not only would never had finished it...especially never would have purchased it. However, your video was excellent...the puzzle, as you say, "good enough ".
Your dreams must be puzzles 24/7 like the tetris effect
This Jigsaw puzzle seems to be harder than it looks. I used to do Jigsaw puzzles all the time but really haven't done a Jigsaw puzzle in about a decade. I'm glad I found your channel and am thinking about doing Jigsaw Puzzles again. I just got my mom a Mystery Jigsaw puzzle on Kickstarter (it just arrived right after Christmas). Actually, I got her all 3 Jigsaw puzzles that were available but only gave her one Jigsaw puzzle so far.
This puzzle is like a Droste Effect. It's a puzzle that contains the box that contains itself ad infinitum
Just wanna say that I love statistics when you include them in your videos :) I imagine others do too
Thank you for making our Sundays!
I’m loving the background plants!
I appreciate all your attention to detail regarding jigsaw puzzles and the expectations you have about jigsaw puzzles. A jigsaw puzzle like this would really drive me crazy. Unfortunately once I start a jigsaw puzzle I have to finish the jigsaw puzzle no matter how much the jigsaw puzzle drives me crazy. So yes, I would have finished this jigsaw jigsaw puzzle from Jigsaw, but it would have taken me much much much longer than you.
"Karen Puzzles" Your eyes were staring into the soul of my soul when you said that...
what a JIGSAWESOME video!! would’ve DEFINITELY given up on jigsaws jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw of a jigsaw of a jigsaw. too many pictures of jigsaws and too many words of “jigsaws jigsaw” in it. but definitely impressed on you finishing this jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw!!! 10/10 jigsaw puzzling!! 🧩😄
Just a note thanks for recommending the podcast “Drop Out”. I always love hearing your favorite podcasts cuz we have the same taste!
I would definitely finish this jigsaw puzzle, as apposed to quitting. Even if it means setting it aside in order to do another one, and going back from time to time. I'm funny this way. If I'm going to start a jigsaw puzzle, I have to finish it regardless how long it takes me. Jigsaw puzzles are great for the mind, and mental health for everyone. As I've always had worked on jigsaw puzzles since I was a kid, it is a very rare thing for me to not finish one. Thank you Karen for your helpful advice and input on this jigsaw puzzle, as I feel that it would be worth buying this and giving it a chance.
Interesting puzzle, thanks Karan. Think I'll buy one .
The title is so out of pocket and chaotic. Just how we like it 😂
I loved your Jigsaw. It is incredible.
I probably would have stopped. More power to you for finishing it! My brain would have just stopped and been like what even is this peice I'm looking at it lmao.
Although when you said the jigsaw jigsaw puzzle my brain had to hear that like 5 times it's still trippy lol
"As he was watching your adventures, others were watching his. They were with him in the bookstore. They were with him when he took the _jigsaw_ ... He doesn't realize he's already part of The Neverending Story." The 4th wall of jigsaw puzzles will soon be broken.
I just saw your cameo in Stand-Up Maths video on jigsaw puzzle piece counts! It was a little like seeing your teacher in the grocery store… Thanks to you and your channel I am now hooked on jigsaw puzzles. Your videos are always worth a smile! Puzzle just finished: Ravensburger 2000 piece “If Fish Could Walk.” Loved the whimsical artwork. Question: have you ever considered reviewing puzzling accessories? Trays, boards, tables, scoops, etc.? I recently bought some nesting trays because I found using other puzzle boxes got a bit awkward after a while. The only issue with this particular set of trays is that they nest a bit too snugly, so unsnapping too forcefully results in a tray-buchet reaction…. “Jigsaw, as many times as possible!”
Amazing 👏 very entertaining 😊
This seems so interesting!
i never knew there was so much nuance to jigsaws, didnt have high expectations but i stayed to the end!
I probably would’ve tried to finish the jigsaw puzzle of jigsaws because I like doing jigsaw puzzles while listening to audiobooks. Funny that you mention Monster Mash. Geoff Castellucci did a cover of this song (on RUclips) a few months ago where his backup singers (which is himself as Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein) do the monster mash. It’s great fun and I think you’d love it.
I love recursive stuff like this. Shirts with shirts on them are my favorite.
