I do them from time to time, we have a table set up at work where people can work on one during breaks/lunchtime |

I used to love doing jigsaw puzzles and found them very relaxing. The problem is, the internet took over......... :-( |

We love doing jigsaws. Those that we decide not to do any more are taken to charity shops where we purchase more :) |

Used to like doing them but it is difficult to find somewhere to put them unless you fork out on the special base. Have you tried the ones on the internet? Not quite the same but interesting to do. Daughter did loads while recuperating from her breast cancer op and radio therapy when she couldn't use the keyboard much. |

Yes that was the one I meant Hazel but, unless you do a lot of puzzles, and with my card making I don't have the time for another hobby, the porta puzzle is not cheap. |

The JigRoll is very handy - just roll up so table is still in use. |

could we start a jigsaw puzzle thread? I find them fascinating and we could all do the same one and compare where pieces go if you see what I mean |

We started with a couple of jigsaws again over Christmas and its got us hooked. Finished Pieter Bruegel's Hunters in the Snow which we lovedd and started on a railway station one which I bought for a £1 from a charity shop which has OH enthralled! |
