Anyone ever done it? If so, I'd like pointers. Sounds interesting.

I like cord rosaries but can't imagine a yarn one.

Do you macrame Brikkz? I's think that that would be fairly easy to make in macrame.

I have wanted to make them for a long time now, but haven't ventured yet to do it.

I don't macrame. I suppose a good instructional youtube video could teach me.

Macrame is super easy. It really is.

My wife always crochets rosaries. I will ask her later if you want. She makes all kinds of rosaries. The first time she made the crochet ones I was pretty baffled.

 

[Michie]

Yeah, I'd like to know.

She says:

first, you get crochet thread in the color of your choice and the appropriate number of beads with good sized holes.



using a beading needle to get the beads on, put the beads on the thread starting with the last decade. The very first Our Father should be your last bead.


Remove the needle and pull as much crochet thread through the beads as you can, winding it around your hand. When you have a nice bit, take it off your hand and make a loop with the thread near the first Our Father.


Pass that loop through the loop on the cross/crucifix


insert hook and start crocheting.


I like three chains around the Our Fathers and one chain between the Aves.




If you have any questions I can get her to look at this thread later tonight

 

[Michie]

So she incorporates beads.

Thanks David.

Yep she either covers the beads with yard or more from what I have seen the yarn is kind of crocheted in like ladder like links. I am hopeless with such things.
