Try the one of Waterloo Station in war and peace. It's exactly the same scene, but, for example, the PO van in peace is an army truck in war.

I got this one at Christmas. It’s a Van Gogh painting and will drive me round the bend. Good fun tho’.

Can confirm that it will drive you round the bend. And back again. And around again, etc... My daughters bought me this one a few years ago, an I'd probably say it's the most frustrating one I've ever done
It's legendary in this house.
Let us know you're ok

To be pedantic, Alpaca don't produce wool. But the fibre is cosy though.

I always thought it was called Alpaca wool? Pretty sure I have watched a programme about it in the past.

****ing hate jigsaws. Once the box is opened I literally can't do anything else till it's finished. I try to avoid them as much as possible.

Thanks for that. When I unwrapped it I just went to pieces.

Sorry, but it's not. I think my username is a clue. 😉

The term 'wool' is wrongly attributed to a lot of different yarn from sheep to yak, even Flax and nettle once spun into yarn.

Yeah, I'm an anorak and yarn snob.

I got it from the Works in the Gyle.

Works in Livingston for me! £10 bargain. Easier to use than the previous version which was rolling it up in a mat. Great for something half finished but useless early in the build....

Im sure my Nana knitted our jumpers using brillo pads, everytime I misbehaved (which was very often) I was told I would be wearing the “jaggy jumper” 🫣

Sounds like Army KF Shirts, felt like wearing something made out of live midges.

🤣 the jaggy jumper, I would hazard a guess at the breed of sheep as herdwick, horrible to spin.

To get back onto the topic of Jigsaws one of the best presents I’ve had recently was a jigsaw made from a photograph of my granddaughter and I catching 40 winks snuggled up together on the settee. Good quality too Ravensberger Jigsaw.
