    I’m a Pisces. The biggest puzzle I’ve done is the 1000 piece SPAM jigsaw puzzle by Aquarius. It was a nightmare. It was me, my mom, my dad, my mom’s brother my uncle, and I think his wife my aunt possibly? We started it and since he lives on the other side of the US then us they left and over the course of like 3 years we ended up finally finishing it after we had started the puzzle then lost the final puzzle piece then found it but then had to wait a long time after we had placed stuff of top of the board that we were using. The board was more of a case that when you open it up, it opens up like a book and keeps the puzzle from moving a lot but had another puzzle on it that would make a massive mess if you just opened it up and we were too lazy to move it for a year and a half before moving it. Unfortunately the missing piece had been in the sunlight for so long it was no longer that same color as the rest of the pieces around it so technically we finished but it doesn’t look like we did. 😅

    As a person who has watched your videos faithfully since 2008, those clips gave me great joy. I remember you talking about the puzzle back then! When I saw that you were going to do it again, I wondered if you were going to talk about that, but I never dreamed you'd show clips. Thank you for doing it! It really did make me happy, and your videos still give me joy. I wouldn't be here if they didn't. So thanks most of all for (can you believe it?!) 15 years of fun!

    I just finished your 1000 piece Gradient Cascade puzzle and have your 3,000 piece puzzle waiting for me, but I am so intimidated by it! And then, I watch your progress of a 9,000 piece puzzle - good heavens! I am in awe of your puzzling skills and your video skills. The videos are so, so creative and a joy to watch - thank you, Karen! Finally, i am guessing you’ll finish the puzzle in 42 hours, 42 minutes.

    The sorting 😱. Sorting is by far the worst part about puzzling but the better the sort, the smoother the solve. I cant wait to see the rest of this one. Also I'm a Taurus ♉️

    Proud Scorpio here and definitely have a sting in my tail but it takes a LOT to get me angry so people rarely see it. I'm glad you actually sorted the pieces first. I can't imagine anyone doing a puzzle this big (or bigger) and not sorting the pieces.

    I just recently found this channel and am hooked. I haven't touched a jigsaw puzzle in years, but ordered one and loved it so much and I've now purchased 3 more (including both of the Karen Puzzle puzzles). As an Aries I wanted to jump straight to a giant puzzle but I've stopped myself and have started at 500. Looking forward to doing this one vicariously!

    Inspired by Karen's love for puzzling, I completed my first (!) puzzle last December, it was Ravensburger's The Map of the Universe - and while it had only 1500 pieces, it's design is kind of similar with this Astrology one with the circles and... the space theme :D In pictures The Map of the Universe looks all black but when you look at the pieces close enough, there's so many little details, it's such a cool puzzle! Anyway, I got a bit too excited with my newfound love for puzzling and asked for this sailboat puzzle as a christmas gift from my parents. However, that sailboat puzzle is almost all blue with lots of sky and sea pieces with no details, and... now, almost half a year later, I'm still working on it. At least on some days :D I'm an Aries, so some might say my sign's excitableness got the best of me...

    As someone who has brought my own products to market, I'd be interested in a more detailed video of how your collaboration with Ravensburger came to fruition, the design process (I did see some of your coverage of that), and how does the financial side work out? I think a whole video describing the process from inception to completion would be very interesting to those of us that found your channel through an anvil video. . . hahaha.😊

    I'm so excited to see you work on this puzzle again! Seeing those unorganized piles of boxes full of puzzle pieces from back then gave me anxiety, looking for specific pieces must have been so frustrating and time-consuming - but I guess young-Karen found it extra challenging :D Was it your very first puzzle of that scale?
