Can you please link the other video that you said you were in?

[@87Cootje]

Hi Karen, is it me or is the date stamp of the puzzle days in this video incorrect. In this video you started at Feb 5th but in the speadsheet at the end it is March 5th when you start the last puzzle days.

[@renepena3024]

That was A LOT of blue! 😳 Almost every puzzle I do, I’m POSITIVE that I’m missing a piece, but no, never. 😂

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

LOL, you obviously have never done a used puzzle you've gotten from a garage sale, in a random box at a 3 for a dollar price at an auction, etc., because... that's a real craps shoot! Sometimes, people will put the date of completion and if there are any missing pieces at that completion date (I try to always remember to do that to any I do), but just as often, there's not even a warning, as in "1 blue piece missing," or "1 edge piece gone." 🙃

[@GetnBrains]

lmao

[@Amelia_Editzz]

I agree @Rena Pena

[@peacechickification]

I learnt a lot about myself when I did a puzzle that I got from a friend. Whenever I thought a piece was missing I was like ‘ahh! That fucking bitch! Gave me a puzzle she didn’t bother to make sure was kept together’ and… nope. All the pieces were there. I just loved blaming someone I thought I cared for for my own inadequacies. It was a hilarious way to have a wake up call of how I handle stress and how I treat the people I love vs how i’d like to care for the people I love/call friend.

[@sofivear]

I find it so wholesome and funny that you undertook this huge challenge without watching any minions movies, just because you found the image interesting to work on as a puzzle. And I find it equally fascinating that I was completely engrossed by this 3-part saga despite my mild distaste for the little yellow creatures. The planning, the process of putting the whole thing together, the stats, your quality camera work to display everything, it just makes it so worth it. I’ve been aware of you since your graphic design video days, I lost track of you through the crafts years and I rediscovered you on this channel a few weeks ago and I’m so. invested. I’m thinking of what kind of puzzle I want to get because I want to make one so bad right now. Just had to put it out there jfnfhdhjskandhj

Oh my goodness, the centre line issue with the 9000 piece Ravensburgers is an absolute pain! 😆 on my 9000 piece Disney Museum, I had the exact same issue that you had, except my pieces were more or less black instead of blue. I guess it wouldn’t have been as much of an issue if I’d done it in the sections, but doing it in one go makes it a little more complicated, so I definitely feel your pain! I have the Magical Dragon Forest 9k by them and I’m definitely doing it in the sections this time! I do love this puzzle too, it’s so bright and cheerful to look at 😃 and I’ve really enjoyed your videos. Thanks so much for sharing this 😍 9000!

[@Choam666]

9,000 pieces!! Wowee!! I enjoy your videos. If I had to pick what picture is on a 9,000 piece puzzle I would select a rainy day in Central Texas. Green cacti, yellow gold grass, various other plants in bloom and, of course, pictures of the animal life. Keep up the good work.

[@matthewscorner2990]

I think the nice thing about this puzzle versus the Zodiac puzzle is that there are so many distinct shapes, colors, and textures that for the most part, don't easily blend into each other, as well as no large sections of the exact same texture/color. Meanwhile the Zodiac puzzle has so many of the same texture throughout, including the massive sky that's all the same color/texture.

[@MsNicoleoly]

9000! If you were to watch the minions movie the whole time you worked on this puzzle you would’ve watched it approximately 51 times! Lol

[@kellster2193]

Congratulations on finishing the 9,000 peice puzzle Karen. You are so much tougher than I am. I tried a 2,000 peice puzzle from Disney in the winter. And it took us all the way from December to February to finish it. It was so hard. Keep up all the amazing work. I am also so glad you decided to tape the puzzle together. So you can go back in the future. If you rent out a warehouse. You should bring all your big puzzles. And put them back together and see what you accomplished.

[@ropolito1980]

I was worried at the end too that you didn’t have all the pieces. 😮‍💨 glad you did and I would have a picture of my heavenly puppy as a 9000 piece puzzle

[@I_am_Irisarc]

I was so excited when I saw what Matt's video was going to be about. I kept thinking,"He should ask Karen. I hope he asks Karen." I was so thrilled when he said that he did! It was almost like seeing a friend on TV. It's been 2 video releases for Karen since Matt's video came out, so I'd kind of resigned myself to being fine with the deal not being reciprocated. Then Karen mentioned the Stand-up Maths video, and it I kind of had the same "my friend is on TV" moment again. KZbin can be very cool sometimes. Unexpected crossovers like this are really fun.

[@mischievousmaria4428]

[@elinborgpalsdottir4901]

It'd take me 9,000 years to finish that puzzle! I try to stick to my 1000-2000s, as it's not as demanding of my time and more casual. If I could have any picture on a 9,000 piece puzzle, I'd love something like the Cloudberry Poster puzzles! Just finished Skyline from them, it was maybe one of the more fun pieces I've done! It'd also be fun to have any Colin Thompson puzzle in 9,000, think of all the tiny details!

[@patriciadesserud9402]

Puzzling large humongous puzzles vicariously through through Karen Puzzles. Thanks, I really enjoyed it.

[@LLS-cf1iz]

I know this comment probably won’t be seen as this video was posted some time ago. But I really enjoyed this 3 part video of you putting the “9000” piece minions and despicable me characters together. If I could have any image on a 9000 piece puzzle it would be ALL the characters of My Hero Academia. All the characters and colors and actions of each character and supporting character coming together on a huge puzzle like this would be amazing!!!!!

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Re what would I want on a puzzle if I could choose what to have on a 9000 piece puzzle? Owls! Tons and tons of different owls! Flying owls, perching owls, nesting owls with owlets, hunting owls... all things owl! That's definitely a 9000 piece puzzle I'd buy and do!

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Impressive! Using the blue painters' tape is, indeed, the best thing to use, since it's designed to be removed easily! Me, I'm always bummed to put that last piece in. But then I really enjoy taking them apart and mixing up those pieces again! 😄 Yes, I am, indeed, here from Standupmaths! 😄

[@maikolosav]

It's so satisfying to watch! I've never made any puzzle larger than 2-3k pieces mostly due to space issues 😅 But I'm looking forward to doing that one day! I admit I don't love how the image is split into two very distinct parts. The one you showed at the end with the above and underwater theme looked much smoother as an overall image.

You are a jigsaw puzzling genius!!! I undertook my first ever puzzle the other week after watching you for several months and being inspired. It was 1000 pieces and I did it over 4 days. Ended up with 2 missing pieces and 1 piece that was an extra bit that didn't belong anywhere, is that a common issue (it was a brand new puzzle). One major learning curve.....note to self do not do jigsaw puzzles on the floor!! 9000.

[@pleasestopscreaming]

I have been working on puzzles since the start of the P-word, and have only gotten one with a missing piece (even including 2nd hand ones from ebay). So I think it's pretty rare. Provided you don't have kids or cats and checked under the couch lol, maybe contact the brand?

[@leahbell7661]

So if I could have any 9,000 piece puzzle and any picture on it, I’d probably stick to a space themed one or a Disney themed one. I love my Disney puzzles.

[@PaulEmsley]

That was marvellous Karen! So engrossing! Your comments at the end about the puzzle image will be (should be) extremely valuable for Ravensburger going forward. Well done! FWIW, I discovered you via Stand-up Maths - he would have, in fact, predicted using his script that the actual number of pieces is over 9000. Now I'm addicted.

[@DiacriticalOne]

This is so zen for me. Very enjoyable and relaxing. On the DSLR - I’d suggest renting or borrowing a tilt-shift (wider rather than longer) and aligning the focal plane with the puzzle as a trial. It will make the whole puzzle available to the frame in focus with orthogonal edges (getting rid of keystoning). They are a bit if a pain to setup, but once done, the effect is simply stunning. Congrats on finishing so well!

Wonderful journey on this ‘9000’ puzzle. Great to see that the collab with Standupmaths triggered you to more mathematically quantify your puzzles. The next big puzzle looks interesting, curious to see the time difference. I’m happy to see shorter videos as well, either here or Patreon. No reason to go to another platform.

Fantastic job Karen!! I would love a 9000 piece puzzle of donuts and coffee 😋

How I do overhead shots is by using a freestanding clothing rack. It's designed to collapse so I use a moldable tripod to attach my camera to the middle of the bar, then I raise it as high as I need and lock it in place. I can place it directly over the table and shoot down.

[@KarenPuzzles]

Great idea! I was looking at camera-specific stands, but they're so expensive. A clothes rack might be a great compromise.

[@ToxicAmnesy]

if i were to have any image on a 9000 pieces puzzle I think i would want something hand-drown, maybe some sort of village scene with people and animals and shops, with cute details and maybe a lot of sky because i do enjoy color block!

[@ericathefae]

About the "seconds per puzzle piece" number: since the sorting has such an impact on the ability to narrow down placement (and therefore overall speed), I think it would be better to include all the time spent, from opening the box to final piece. I would be interesting to see these numbers for your old puzzles too - maybe an idea for a cool graph? It would probably be possible to see your improvement over time that way. Hmm, or maybe there should be two different numbers: a puzzle piece placement one and a sorting one (which could then be used to perhaps categorise and compare different types of puzzles and/or strategies)?

[@Mac_an_Mheiriceanaigh]

yes, Karen, you MUST do a graph with your per-piece speed on all puzzles ever done!!!

[@howardtira1286]

then you could correlate the difference in times when you've invested more time sorting and see how beneficial acute sorting is or isn't. I'd like to think investing more time sorting improves overall time, but i could be wrong. The numbers don't lie ☺️

[@puzzlerpolly4821]

Oh my goodness! 9000! Great job, such a fun puzzle as well!

[@amydixon9982]

I wish I had space to try a 9000 piece, if I did I would want something colourful and busy! No plain colours. A note on the Ravens urges pieces, I don’t find the same issue with the edge coming apart, but I do mine on a felt style board that has friction.

[@LJG7654]

Congrats on finishing the 9000 piece puzzle! If I did a 9000 piece one, it'd have to be something like the minions where there are big sections that are distinguishable. I've done 1-2000 piece ones that were made of just a couple colors and they drove me mad trying to to finish because you literally had to go piece by piece in every open spot and even sorting didn't help that much! So, lots of colors, lots of sections...

Woo hoo! 9000! I suppose I’m just as susceptible as anyone else to what is popular at the moment, but I think an Encanto mural could be quite cool as a mega-puzzle. The characters are visually interesting and the color palette is, well, pretty. (No formal art education here, so I lack the vocabulary to describe why I find it so appealing.)

So I am going full on puzzle nerd here - but - I think it would be awesome to have the same puzzle as Karen and we could all have the chance of sitting around with Karen doing the puzzle together. We could listen to her playlist and, I don't how to do an in the moment chat feed, but I'm just saying that I would love that so much. However, it would have to be a lesser than 9,000 piece puzzle - maybe a 1,000 or 2,000 piece puzzle. Totally nerdtastic and totally unrealistic. Great video as always.

[@kai44478]

I feel like your mockup with the gradient looked so much better! That center line is a bit jarring with nothing going on. I am curious about the section joins for the 24,000 piece puzzle. I don't remember that one having the same alignment issues as this, and it didn't allow any blank space, either!

I think I mention that in the second section video (so Part3)? It gets slightly off, but not enough to be noticeable unless you look closely.

[@chatanugadotorg]

Interesting that you mentioned that the puzzle was actually more than 9000 pieces. I was sorting the edge pieces out of the latest puzzle (a 1000-piece Ravensburger) that I've purchased so that it's ready to go when I get around to doing the puzzle. In the process, I accidentally spilled a few pieces on the floor, fearing that I was missing pieces, I started counting pieces to make sure I found all of them. I counted the edge pieces and counted 123. I thought it was odd that there would be an odd number of edge pieces and figured that one of the other 877 was going to be an edge piece. But when I counted through the rest, they totaled 885. So there are actually 1008 pieces in the 1000-piece puzzle.

[@kirkmilliren2356]

Absolutely fantastic! I love the minions, but not sure that I'll be able to get this one. 9,000 pieces sounds like a lot of fun and a challenge, but paying for it will be a challenge for me. This would be a puzzle to save for. Keep going Karen, I enjoy watching your videos.

[@lizhart81]

Wow, well done, Karen! The ill-fitting pieces on that central band would drive me to distraction, and I would not be able to move on until I was 100% sure that everything was in the right place. Your gradient design tweak would definitely make that part less stressful. With regard to what image I would choose for a 9000 piece puzzle, it would have to be some kind of Wimmelbilder - I want lots of tiny characters all doing different activities, in a city, a factory, a huge building or a spaceship. If we're talking existing artwork, pretty much any Where's Wally images would be great.
