An Inordinate Length of Edge

One of my strategies for piecing together a jigsaw puzzle (also shared by most people I know) is sorting out and assembling the edge pieces first.  This strategy has proven largely impossible for a puzzle Desiree and I started assembling a bit less than a week ago.

The 1000-piece puzzle, themed from the television comedy series The Office, depicts a Christmas sweater.  As an extra twist, the puzzle is also in the shape of a Christmas sweater.  Given its odd shape, the puzzle has an inordinate length of edge.  Moreover, the curvy style in which the pieces have been cut further complicates classifying edge pieces from the rest.   

Neither Desiree nor I have watched an episode of The Office, but we both find the puzzle challenging and whimsical.  At present, the sweater looks as though it has been subjected to an explosion, but the shape is getting there.

I may need to stream an episode of the show after we complete the sweater.
