I can't believe I finished it! Leave any questions you have in the comments and I'll answer them in the final video where I put all four sections together!
how did you find this puzzle and ending up become your dream puzzle also what made you wait 10 years to got it have you ever said " why i am doing this😵" and thank you 🥰💗
Question: have you ever thought about live streaming while doing a puzzle? I feel like it would be really cool to see how fast you actually are cause I feel like it’s easy to underestimate how impressive your puzzling skills are. Also blue
This is a bittersweet moment for all of us. An amazing accomplishment for you. It's been a joy watching you complete your dream puzzle. Thank you for sharing with us and for the most wholesome content on the internet. 🥰
The fun thing is, that while you taped your puzzle you actually made yourself a new puzzle, only with fewer pices. :D I am so happy for you that you finished your dream puzzle! Can't wait for the big reveal and the statistics! (blue)
The very first video I saw of yours was the first section of the puzzle that you did. I couldn't believe how someone could get so excited about doing a puzzle. And I never knew such huge puzzles existed. Then I started watching the rest of your videos and fell in love with puzzling as well and have completed a number of my own puzzles on my kitchen table. I have had so much fun doing them and now I understand how you can get so excited about doing a dream puzzle. Now I am BLUE that we've finished the journey of the huge 24000 piece puzzle. What next? I think there are larger ones!
I’m glad that the BLUE section ended up being at least a little more fun than expected! My question for you is: how do you decide when to power through a difficult part of the puzzle versus moving to a different part to give yourself a break? I’m usually too stubborn to give up on a difficult section.
Ditto!! I get so frustrated and you SWEAR that piece you're looking for is JUST NOT THERE!! so you're like FINE, FK IT, I'll just look for this other piece that I didn't want to do yet. 😡
These videos have made my pregnancy so much more fun! And made it go faster, since I’ve been waiting for updates on this. I’m hopefully going in to labor soon, like in days. And so glad you finished it before my pregnancy ended🤩 you also inspired me to finish my 3000 piece puzzle during the earlier months of my pregnancy 🤰🏼. Thank you Karen 😍
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥳👏👏👏 My wife and I have really enjoyed watching you do this. All of the other big puzzle videos on RUclips seem to be time lapses 😢 I have 3 of the Ravensberger 18,000 puzzles and I got some great ideas on how to do them when I can, so thank you for the inspiration (along with the video work)! Now all you need is that 51k Kodak puzzle! 😅
Karen, I used to love jigsaw puzzles as a teenager and young adult. I came across your channel in my feed. I started watching and I’m interested in puzzling again. Thanks
It feels almost surreal now when it's done... I remember watching your old Q&A, in which you shared that this is your dream puzzle and since then I've been waiting for this dream to come true. Can't wait to see it put together 😃
OMG CONGRATS KAREN!! We've all been waiting until this moment and I'm so so proud that you achieved the mission of completing this monstrous puzzle So now i'm gonna watch the video 😅 Already wanted to post this hahah
Kinda random but I’m an accountant who works on really tedious projects and I literally play your videos on repeat. They are so fun & inspiring to me. I feel like I have a partner in work because you tackle massive tedious puzzles that I feel like I can relate to in a totally different way! I have a huge project to work on tonight & literally gasped when I saw this video uploaded. IM SO HAPPY!!!! THANK YOU YOU PUZZLING GODDESS! Blue 💙
I've watched your 24000 piece puzzle movies a few times and congratulations on finishing it, a big accomplishment! I recently finished this one as well and I agree that the third section is the hardest one.I loved putting it together all the way through. I also used your taping method instead of Puzzle glue. The puzzle glue makes the whole puzzle look blend so I quit using it. Keep making these great videos, they are well made and fun to watch 👍
Hi Karen, My name is Fe. I turned 69 today. This is a great present for me. I gave you till the end of August to finish. There was never a doubt that you will finish, but a month early? Wow, you never cease to amaze. I started watching you way before with your impressive Duck/duct tape projects. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas. I learned so much from you and can now do puzzles in half the time. Thanks for all your tips. I love every one of your projects and all your puzzles. The most difficult one I've ever done was a round solid red one with almost the same shapes. The three D castle was a bust. The pieces kept falling down. Frustrating. It was a pricey one. I expected the pieces to stay together. Oh, well! I put it back in the box. Maybe someday. Who ever said old dogs can't learn new tricks? They're wrong! Can't wait for the next puzzle challenge! Did I forget to mention that you are also very entertaining? Enough said. Have a great week, be safe and well, Fe
Karen your large puzzle journey happened while I was really sick and had a bunch of injuries. All your videos have made my last four months bearable. Thank you for doing something you love and sharing it with the world.
Although I do always watch till the very end I never comment because I watch while I work. But today I feel I should comment Blue to show I did watch this one to the end and I can't wait to watch the reveal video! Congratulations!
Question: would you like to ever do a giant puzzle with all bags mixed together? It looks like something next level in terms of sorting and managing the sections...
I can't even imagine how much work THAT was. Like doing the puzzle is one thing. But you had hours and hours of film material you had to go through to make this 45 minutes video. I will go through all of the videos at the end. A "Karen is doing the 24 000 pieces puzzle" marathon. My favourite part is the blue planet, because it stand so out in the sky. Really beautiful. :)
Hi Karen! I loved that you allowed us viewers to join you on your puzzling journey, I'm not even a huge fan of puzzles, but I loved seeing you loving this particular one! Question: Have you ever tried 3-D printed puzzles with unusual cut patterns? What was your favorite/least favorite experience with one of them? Love, from Spain! ❤
Feeling a little blue that the puzzle is completed, but I loved how you documented the process, and I can't wait for the big reveal video! Thank you for sharing all of this with us, Karen! You're great!
First let me say you are amazing. For all of us viewing you, whose biggest claim to fame is probably a 1000 piece puzzle, your are an inspiration. You are reminding us the value in simple pleasures as we witness pieces of colored cardboard spring to life. Add to that, the lessons of patience and perseverance you throw in, all with a smile. My 2 questions- first do you find yourself sighing with happiness when you have completed a part like the coral reef or sail boats when working on a puzzle? Second, even after you finish for the day, do you find yourself going back and looking at what you have accomplished and are you tempted to start working on it again? You had to have had the "blues" on Saturday thinking of this puzzle coming to an end!
Congrats Karen on this accomplishment - the puzzling, filming and editing! The mound of “blue” Atlantis-like pieces looked to 1,000+ pieces alone. Thanks for sharing this with us. 😃
Congratulations. I've just finished a 6000 piece puzzle and I'm exhausted. It's so tiring to have such a big puzzle. On the last day, I worked on it non-stop for 8,5 h. I can't imagine doing 3 more puzzles this big after this one. Back to 1000 ones.
Watching this while recovering from gallbladder removal surgery. This makes me happy to watch. Thank you for the entertainment. ❤️ helps recovering go a bit easier!
Oh I can't wait to binge the entire journey when part 6 comes out! Edit: BLUE is my favourite color and I love space so this part was so satisfying to watch
Question: You mentioned in part 2 that this is a crumbly puzzle. How difficult was it to tape it together when it was done, and do you have tips in general for how to deal with a crumbly puzzle?
Congratulations Karen! 🎉👍😀 I don’t think I would ever put together such a large puzzle. But I have learned so much from you on how you put puzzles together! Puzzles were always so confusing to me and by watching your videos I can see that there’s a strategy to them. Thanks for teaching me a great life skill! 😊
Gotto admit I would never have the nerv to tackle such a huge puzzle even if I had the space doing so. I would take me years to finish it. So congratulations on finishing it. Even so finishing it seems you have left feeling Kind of Blue after it was all done.
before watching this series i couldn't even do my 1000 piece puzzle that i bought like 10 years ago but i finally finished it. karen really taught me a lot XD
Ok, I know this seems really minor, but I did a 500 piece puzzle today by myself. I have always wanted to like puzzles but always ended up frustrated and giving up. You have inspired me and today, by golly I did a real grown up puzzle. Woohoo!
Have you thought about wearing a back brace or setting up a special puzzle table, so the bending over isn’t as rough? Maybe a drafting table with a slightly adhesive coating or some sort of magnetized surface? It makes me wonder if anyone out there has ever created something like that for puzzlers!
There are easel-style puzzle boards with a felt or suede-like fabric that are angled like a drawing board, but they tend to only be big enough for 1500 piece puzzles.
I was about to suggest trying prism glasses for one video (you can see down while head faces forward). It might help, but even if it doesn't it'd be funny for us to watch.
Can't believe you BLUE through that last section. Gonna miss this puzzle. Thank you for renewing my love of puzzles. I haven't seen my dining room table without one in progress for a year now. Even got my best friend hooked too.
BLUE skies are back again watching you finish your dream puzzle. Just watching you hug the puzzle pieces alone made me smile and the great satisfaction of seeing the final taped pieces all piled up at the end - well done Karen - you're a star! 🌟
Watching your videos and feeling the excitement and love you have for puzzling made me begin buying and doing my own puzzles, and it's something I've really come to love doing. The sense of accomplishment and just pure calmness was something I really needed when I was going through a tough time, and I'm so happy and grateful that you introduced me to this wonderful hobby. Thank you, Karen ❤️
So happy to have been following your giant puzzle journey! I am working on my thesis, which is due on Friday, and I am so stressed about it, gahh. I'm currently on my break, and this will be my entertainment 😁
Congratulations on the gigantic puzzle and finishing it. Super cool! My family knows that you are my favorite RUclips channel and most favorite puzzle geek 🥰. You inspired me to a 2000 piece Star Wars puzzle. It’s been a lesson! Managing many pieces is NO joke🤔 now I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the importance of sorting. Best of luck and happy puzzling❤️
This blue me away! lol One question I have is: how many finished tiled pieces did you end up making? I ask because it's kind of funny to think about it in the sense that you finished a 24,000 piece puzzle and turned it into a XX piece puzzle.
As far as I can see, every big section (quarter of the entire puzzle) gets separated into 12 taped pieces, so in total it should be a 12 * 4 = 48 piece puzzle :D
I've been saving watching this until I finished my own big project (my dissertation) and I submitted it today! So puzzle time!! Congrats on finishing! 🎉
I can't believe how far along this puzzle has really came together, one of my favorite series on RUclips! I loved this series so very much! Glad to see it come together! Both happy and sad lol I can't wait for what comes next :D
I clicked so fast. You inspire me. I’m currently working on a pretty challenging 2000 piece puzzle, which is the biggest size puzzle I’ve ever tried to do by myself, or really the biggest one I have room for currently. I would like to try a 4-6 thousand one someday. You have actually made me a better puzzler, I use some of your tips and tricks now on my puzzles. That was a lot of blue pieces in the end :)
I love how yesterday I was like I feel like it’s about time she posts the last fourth of the puzzle. This was a great video and I’m very excited for reveal but I’m blue to see it all over. Do you think there are still unopened versions of this puzzle still out there or was this hard to find?
The water and sky are always the hardest parts.Much props to your patience and perseverance. Great job, finally! Keep rockin it steady, one puzzle piece at a time.
I know we're supposed to talk about the puzzle (And, of course, I loved seeing it nearly completed!) but I would like to compliment you on how well your apartment has come together! The pink & grey is such a vibe, and your little shoe area is a cute idea. :)
I don’t know why but i enjoy your videos so much. I was recommended your first video of this series and although i have never even attempted a puzzle before, i became obsessed with your channel! It is so relaxing and i love the obvious passion you have for puzzles. Sad to see this puzzle come to an end but im glad it brought me to this channel! :)
In this video, she describes how she does the sorting. She initially separates the pieces into several broad categories: edge prices all together, and then different piles for each visually-distinct large section/region of the puzzle. Then when working on a specific section, she sub-divides the pieces into smaller sections. For example, she initially sorted all the sailboats together, and then when working on that section, she started by sub-dividing the pieces with a pile for each individual boat. Hope this helps!
@@magnifisweets yeah, I'm working on a 5K piece puzzle right now and it's taking forever (probably because there's only 5 categories for pieces). Thanks!
I can't believe I finished it! Leave any questions you have in the comments and I'll answer them in the final video where I put all four sections together!
That box is intimidating so bog
how did you find this puzzle and ending up become your dream puzzle
also what made you wait 10 years to got it
have you ever said " why i am doing this😵"
and thank you 🥰💗
What section of the puzzle did you enjoy the most?
Question: What large jigsaw puzzle would you recommend for someone interested in doing a large jigsaw puzzle for the first time??
Did you believe you would ever get a chance to do this puzzle 5 years ago ? Or when you first started ? X ♥️
So much BLUE! Congrats! My boyfriend was really exited for the “puzzle lady” to finish her “big ass puzzle”
haha +
My sister said the same thing XD basically all my family was waiting for her to finish her "giant puzzle"
I refer to her as the puzzle lady and Katie from royalty soaps as the soap lady 😂😂😂 so it’s easier for him to know who I’m talking about
😆
😂😂
I can't believe how many times you said "I can't believe" lol
Me just starting the video
Karen: I cAnT bElIEvE
For the last time
My dream puzzle
I believe
I can't believe you've done this.
"It's finished! What am I gonna do now?!"
... another 24k piece puzzle? :D
Or maybe the 42000 puzzle pieces...in any case congrats Karen!
Yeah
Mix all four bags together and do it again!
Karen: “Educa website, here I come!!”

Them stacked at the end was so satisfying.
Blue.
Karen, I used to love jigsaw puzzles as a teenager and young adult. I came across your channel in my feed. I started watching and I’m interested in puzzling again. Thanks
There is still the 46000 piece-puzzle out there. Looking forward to you doing it.
It feels almost surreal now when it's done... I remember watching your old Q&A, in which you shared that this is your dream puzzle and since then I've been waiting for this dream to come true. Can't wait to see it put together 😃
OMG CONGRATS KAREN!!
We've all been waiting until this moment and I'm so so proud that you achieved the mission of completing this monstrous puzzle
So now i'm gonna watch the video 😅
Already wanted to post this hahah
Blue. I understand your methodology, I work the same way with jigsaw puzzles. Only I begin with the hard parts first. Great job
Kinda random but I’m an accountant who works on really tedious projects and I literally play your videos on repeat. They are so fun & inspiring to me. I feel like I have a partner in work because you tackle massive tedious puzzles that I feel like I can relate to in a totally different way!

It’s almost time to binge watch this whole journey hehe! Feeling kinda blue about it ;)
Really good work Karen
Hi Karen,
My name is Fe. I turned 69 today. This is a great present for me. I gave you till the end of August to finish. There was never a doubt that you will finish, but a month early?
Wow, you never cease to amaze. I started watching you way before with your impressive Duck/duct tape projects. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas.
I learned so much from you and can now do puzzles in half the time. Thanks for all your tips. I love every one of your projects and all

I almost don't want to watch this. I don't want it to all be over!
Blue is my favorite color! I’ve loved watching you complete this puzzle. It’s inspiring!
35:03 is my face watching Karen finish the whole puzzle.
Blue!
Because of you, I bought this puzzle the other day. My back hurts just thinking about starting it. 🙈
Karen your large puzzle journey happened while I was really sick and had a bunch of injuries. All your videos have made my last four months bearable. Thank you for doing something you love and sharing it with the world.

Question: would you like to ever do a giant puzzle with all bags mixed together? It looks like something next level in terms of sorting and managing the sections...
Oh, jeez! That sounds like a whole lot!
She said in the beginning that she might do this but not anytime soon
She has done that, but not with this one, that would be horrific 😂😂
I can't even imagine how much work THAT was. Like doing the puzzle is one thing. But you had hours and hours of film material you had to go through to make this 45 minutes video. I will go through all of the videos at the end. A "Karen is doing the 24 000 pieces puzzle" marathon. My favourite part is the blue planet, because it stand so out in the sky. Really beautiful. :)
Literally died at the beginning with the "I can't believes" 😂

Wow, that BLUE section actually came out looking quite lovely. What a journey, and I can't wait to see the entire thing all put together.
Watching this while recovering from gallbladder removal surgery. This makes me happy to watch. Thank you for the entertainment. ❤️ helps recovering go a bit easier!
Oh I can't wait to binge the entire journey when part 6 comes out!
Edit: BLUE is my favourite color and I love space so this part was so satisfying to watch
Karen, you "blue" me away with your tenacity and continued enthusiasm for this monster of a puzzle. Can't wait for the final reveal!
Question: You mentioned in part 2 that this is a crumbly puzzle. How difficult was it to tape it together when it was done, and do you have tips in general for how to deal with a crumbly puzzle?
There’s something therapeutic about watching that come together. I look forward to seeing the final assembly.
Congratulations Karen! 🎉👍😀
I don’t think I would ever put together such a large puzzle. But I have learned so much from you on how you put puzzles together! Puzzles were always so confusing to me and by watching your videos I can see that there’s a strategy to them. Thanks for teaching me a great life skill! 😊

You did it! Thanks for sharing the journey. 🧩🧩🧩
Watching your channel, this series in particular, got me so into puzzling. I just finished my first 2000 piece!! Tysm and I’m so proud of you :)
before watching this series i couldn't even do my 1000 piece puzzle that i bought like 10 years ago but i finally finished it. karen really taught me a lot XD
Ok, I know this seems really minor, but I did a 500 piece puzzle today by myself. I have always wanted to like puzzles but always ended up frustrated and giving up. You have inspired me and today, by golly I did a real grown up puzzle. Woohoo!
Have you thought about wearing a back brace or setting up a special puzzle table, so the bending over isn’t as rough? Maybe a drafting table with a slightly adhesive coating or some sort of magnetized surface? It makes me wonder if anyone out there has ever created something like that for puzzlers!
There are easel-style puzzle boards with a felt or suede-like fabric that are angled like a drawing board, but they tend to only be big enough for 1500 piece puzzles.
I was about to suggest trying prism glasses for one video (you can see down while head faces forward). It might help, but even if it doesn't it'd be funny for us to watch.
Wow!! I'm so impressed by this. That BLUE section looked sooooo overwhelming. Can't wait to see the finished puzzle altogether! Great job!!
It’s so refreshing to see other people being passionate about puzzles as I am 🙌🏼
Can't believe you BLUE through that last section. Gonna miss this puzzle. Thank you for renewing my love of puzzles. I haven't seen my dining room table without one in progress for a year now. Even got my best friend hooked too.
i love this series! I hope you had fun time doing them too! Cheers and love from Finland!
BLUE skies are back again watching you finish your dream puzzle. Just watching you hug the puzzle pieces alone made me smile and the great satisfaction of seeing the final taped pieces all piled up at the end - well done Karen - you're a star! 🌟
So sad it's about to end, but so happy to have been able to watch all of this! Thank you, hope you enjoyed it a lot ❤️
Watching your videos and feeling the excitement and love you have for puzzling made me begin buying and doing my own puzzles, and it's something I've really come to love doing. The sense of accomplishment and just pure calmness was something I really needed when I was going through a tough time, and I'm so happy and grateful that you introduced me to this wonderful hobby. Thank you, Karen ❤️
So much BLUE! My question is: what are your favourite little details in the image? So excited for the final video to see everything together.
29:40 me being from the future and knowing what that "secret project" was
I haven’t been this excited to see anything since Endgame came out!
This BLUE portion of the puzzle was so fun to watch! So excited to watch it being finished!!
This has been a fun journey. I cannot wait to see the final video when it's all together ... blue :)
The BLUE section was my favorite. I find your videos very calming. Thank You for posting this
So happy to have been following your giant puzzle journey! I am working on my thesis, which is due on Friday, and I am so stressed about it, gahh. I'm currently on my break, and this will be my entertainment 😁
Congratulations! I’m sooo happy for you! Thank you for allowing me to part of your life. I do enjoy watching your videos on Sunday.
Yay, this was the reason why I started watching you, I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats!! BLUE!
Congratulations on the gigantic puzzle and finishing it. Super cool! My family knows that you are my favorite RUclips channel and most favorite puzzle geek 🥰. You inspired me to a 2000 piece Star Wars puzzle. It’s been a lesson! Managing many pieces is NO joke🤔 now I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the importance of sorting.
Best of luck and happy puzzling❤️
Karen: What am gonna do now?
Me: more puzzles?
hahahaha :) love you
Blue!!! This journey has been so much fun to join you on and I can’t wait to see it all out together!!
Congratulations! Happy for you!
As for me, I just started my first ever puzzle. ☺️
I love to hear that!
It's adorable to see how much you love your puzzles!
I've been looking forward to this for a long time lol. CONGRATS!
WELL DONE Karen. Ive enjoyed watching you do that.
THANKS for taking the time to entertain us!!!!
This blue me away! lol
One question I have is: how many finished tiled pieces did you end up making? I ask because it's kind of funny to think about it in the sense that you finished a 24,000 piece puzzle and turned it into a XX piece puzzle.
As far as I can see, every big section (quarter of the entire puzzle) gets separated into 12 taped pieces, so in total it should be a 12 * 4 = 48 piece puzzle :D
18:00 is so satisfying! That one small coral section basically popping into existence. All those fish going into place it was just perfect.
I am both so sad and happy that you finished the puzzle ! Loved loved loved seeing you put it together , can’t wait for the final video 🤩
Blue💙
I've been saving watching this until I finished my own big project (my dissertation) and I submitted it today! So puzzle time!! Congrats on finishing! 🎉
I’m so excited to see the finished project!!! Love you Karen your vids make me smile 💗
So much blue! Loved watching you finish. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Never stop puzzling!
Congrats, Karen! Tbh, knowing there’s only one more video in this series has me feeling a little BLUE 😏
I can't believe how far along this puzzle has really came together, one of my favorite series on RUclips! I loved this series so very much! Glad to see it come together! Both happy and sad lol I can't wait for what comes next :D
Hi! I'm so exited to see how this turns out!
I clicked so fast. You inspire me. I’m currently working on a pretty challenging 2000 piece puzzle, which is the biggest size puzzle I’ve ever tried to do by myself, or really the biggest one I have room for currently. I would like to try a 4-6 thousand one someday. You have actually made me a better puzzler, I use some of your tips and tricks now on my puzzles. That was a lot of blue pieces in the end :)
Not a question, but a comment - I think the "blue" section's underwater village is meant to portray the famous lost city of Atlantis.
That's what my thought was too!
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Congratulations on this major accomplishment. You rock!
When sorting, how often do you miss that a piece is an edge and sort it into the wrong pile?
I loved being on this journey with you. Can't wait for the reveal. THANK you For Sharing.
I love how yesterday I was like I feel like it’s about time she posts the last fourth of the puzzle. This was a great video and I’m very excited for reveal but I’m blue to see it all over. Do you think there are still unopened versions of this puzzle still out there or was this hard to find?
Don't be blue about finishing your dream puzzle! Now you get to work on your next dream!! Congratulations Karen!! Cannot wait to see it all together!!
Well done a huge achievement 👏👏
The water and sky are always the hardest parts.Much props to your patience and perseverance. Great job, finally! Keep rockin it steady, one puzzle piece at a time.
You did it, you're the chosen one! Your soul can finally be put to rest inside the puzzle memorialized as a prophet!
the BLUE section seemed to be your best part this time. when i found your videos a couple month's ago you got me back into puzzles thank you so much
I know we're supposed to talk about the puzzle (And, of course, I loved seeing it nearly completed!) but I would like to compliment you on how well your apartment has come together! The pink & grey is such a vibe, and your little shoe area is a cute idea. :)
I don’t know why but i enjoy your videos so much. I was recommended your first video of this series and although i have never even attempted a puzzle before, i became obsessed with your channel! It is so relaxing and i love the obvious passion you have for puzzles. Sad to see this puzzle come to an end but im glad it brought me to this channel! :)
Karen, truly your courage , perseverance patience , determination and guts inspires your fellow puzzlelers to never give up. That includes me too. 👍💕
Never had a doubt you’d get through the BLUE as quick as you finally got.
Congratulations and thank you to take us with you all along!
When you do a larger puzzle (2,000+ pieces) do you separate the pieces into sections by color/look or side and inside first? Or both at once?
In this video, she describes how she does the sorting. She initially separates the pieces into several broad categories: edge prices all together, and then different piles for each visually-distinct large section/region of the puzzle. Then when working on a specific section, she sub-divides the pieces into smaller sections. For example, she initially sorted all the sailboats together, and then when working on that section, she started by sub-dividing the pieces with a pile for each individual boat. Hope this helps!
@@magnifisweets yeah, I'm working on a 5K piece puzzle right now and it's taking forever (probably because there's only 5 categories for pieces). Thanks!
Incredible achievement Karen. Thank you so much for letting us share the experience with you. Looking so forward to seeing it in its full glory! Blue.
