Great recap video of the Canadian speed puzzle competition. Your times are great! Well done Donnalouise and your team😊🧩

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Thank you so much! I had. blast!!

[@markb933]

Hi Donnalouise, wow 🤩 the Canadian championships are unbelievably fast👀👍. We are huge fans of watching the competitions but we would explode in an ectoplasmic ball of stress 😂 if we competed. We really appreciate your love of this wonderful hobby. Keep well and warm wishes from Melbourne Australia 🥰🥰

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

They are so fast in Canada! And yes, it is so much fun to watch the competitions. I love cheering everyone on. Hugs to you both from Dunedin

[@Astronimi]

Great job with the puzzle! It was just unfortunate that you haven't practiced the Astrology puzzle😂 Anyhow great job with the puzzle and great video! Ciao😊

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

We had a 50% chance of picking the right puzzle and still managed to muck it up hehehe Oh well, it's all good. Had the best time!

[@Rockeargesell]

I love these recap videos!

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Thank you!!! So pleased you are enjoying them!

[@pamelafranzen2771]

Looking forward to seeing the pairs competition.

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

The next video will be teams - hope you enjoy!

[@ellies_world_of_puzzles]

My strategy for the circle ones is completely different. I prefer to to the border last, just because it takes up so much space.
Great job for the Astrology puzzle, congrats! I just did it the last weekend with my 6yo daughter and I found it extremely hard.

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

I can see how it feels the circle puzzle take up a lot of room. At Worlds I didn't do my border first on the Poke Bowl because I didn't feel the border gave me any indication of orientation and where things were meant to go. I do think it helped me for Astrology but Alison maybe didn't think so. Fun puzzling with your daughter - future speed puzzler in training! 💜🧩

[@Puzzles_and_Parks_with_Kyla]

You and Ulla did amazing with the zodiac puzzle! The seashell one kicked mine and Jenna's butts LOL! we started out strong with the edges and the blues and greens and then lost so much momentum with the pinks and reds. I struggled to even see different textures! Still so much fun! Watching the Pairs final was so intense! No on can tell us that watching someone puzzle is boring!

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Oh those Seashells!! That was all on Alison because those red/pinks kicked my butt!!! I don't know how I would do that on my own. I would be amazed if I finished it solo in under 2 hours. I might change from speed puzzler to speed puzzling watcher! hehehe

[@cecilias_shorts]

I love watching puzzle competitions...its amazing how fast they can be done....when i did my first round one i didnt know where to start so i googled...I found another youtuber who suggested to do the edges first...ok, so I sorted them and I had so many edge pieces...they mostly looked the same to me...any chance of doing a video to show how to pick the edge pieces of a round puzzle?

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Circle edge pieces are so dependent on the brand. With Ravensburger they are easy to find and pick out. But I did another brand which I can't quite remember the name now but I couldn't easily figure out all the pieces which were in the border. I do like doing the border first for a circle puzzle.

[@cecilias_shorts]

​@@fortheloveofpuzzlesthe brand I did was Sunsout it was called Easter Eggs...I sorted by the different patterns. It was such a fun one to do

[@mackberg1792]

Of all the circle of colors puzzles you’ve ever done, which is your favorite?

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Oh...good question! I think I really enjoyed both Animals and Donuts the most. 💜🧩

[@puzzlepiece9509]

Well that was certainly intense! Well done with your times. The artist for Astrology is Katja Perez and for Seashells is Irina Diasli. Their names are on the back of the box. Look forward to seeing how you got on in the teams section.

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Thank you for the artist names - I left the boxes in Canada and so, I only have the poster and no information is written on them. I actually thought "Astrology" was called "Zodiac" but got that corrected in time for this video. There were some really close times indeed!!!

[@50sRockChick]

Fantastic times. I loved doing the origami one, I think it’s an Aimee Stewart one.

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

It is an Aimee Stewart image - I think I will go ahead and buy it for Alison and I to do together. It just looks like so much fun!

[@JessCatlessi]

Donnalouise, I just want to say, I love your monkeyness. I don't think you need to apologize for being you. You are awesome and your family and friends are lucky to have you in their lives. And we are lucky that you share yourself with us. I'm glad you had fun at the competition.

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Thank you!! You comment means so much to me!! The competition was so much fun

[@UmMuhammad94]

What an amazing time! Aimee Stewart is the artist of the Art of Origami. Congratulations 🎉

[@fortheloveofpuzzles]

Thank you!! I am going to try and get a copy of it for Alison and I to do for practice.
