Anyone else prompted by the lockdowns to take up jigsaws?
When the first lockdown hit us I rediscovered jigsaws. Since then in March 2020, I have had one on the go constantly. No, not the same one. I am a wee bit faster than that!
I have a loft filled with them now and only last week I donated around 10 puzzles to a local charityshop. Space is a problem!
@TinFoilHat It is. Not sure if you walked into the glen beyond the viaduct. There is a rather modern estate house built into one of the corries. White roughcast and 2 levels. Very plain and sticks out like a sore thumb.
The estate also maintain and open bothy (or they did) up the glen for wlakers and climbers. When I visited it I was amazed. I had mains electricy and a stove! Sadly I was not staying. :)
I did a 1000pc. puzzle of the Neuschwanstein castle in Germany, before covid and that thing took me a whole year to complete.
I'm working on a 750pc. puzzle of another castle, then I have a 1500pc. of the Neuschwanstein castle but from a different angle than the first one I did.
I've already glued together the 1000pc. I just have to frame it then I plan to do that to all the others.
I did too. It was a good way to white away some hours I was interested in world maps 🗺️ so got an ancient one, a new one and a united Kingdom one The ancient world was 2000 pieces but i had fun. Tbh its something ive kept at since lockdown. Its a nice hobby and very relaxing
I have only recently started to get into the 'wasgij' jigsaws. These are the ones which show you a picture but then tell you to work out what someone in the picture is seeing.
@Thevy29 I have seen them around but never bought one. I did not realise there was anything more to them than simply completing the jigsaw from the cover image?
Yes I like doing them my problem has been when I start one I hate stopping until it’s done . I have about 12 all together and sitting on my daughter’s bed ( she’s not home now ) . They are winter projects for me.

I'm not but I have a aunt who is. She does the huge ones then frame them. They turn out to be nice pieces of art. I have a few hanging around my house.
🤔...........Nope, I just went around doing my normal stuff, it's just everyone else had stopped doing things and everything was shutdown............I still went to a couple of parties and two weddings in the summer of 2020.............
