While this is not the Project That Ate My Life* this spring, it *is* one of the things I've been working on. The Paternoster-Row.org website, with all the...
A friend found a vintage chaplet with 12 sets of three beads and a cross. Does anyone know what it is/was used for? The St. Anthony chaplet has 13 sets of 3...
Are there beads in between? Is there a picture of this chaplet? St. Augustine's has 13 groups of two - the Apostles and Christ, so that isn't it either.. ...
... Yankee Lady's table of chaplets doesn't seem to have anything in 12 x 3 either, and that's the place where I always look first. It seems to be the most...
Thanks, Chris! That is a GREAT link! It is now in my bookmarks. =) I never considered the possibility that it could have been broken. I did have the...

HI, Lovely group you have here! I looked for a long time for more traditional words/prayers to be used with the Anglican Rosary and finally found...
Wonderful information thank you so much for sharing. where did you come across the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church of England you mentioned in...
... The book of Common Prayer is available online, just google it. You can buy the 1600's one quite often at Borders. They are available at Amazon & on eBay (I...
... Perhaps the best resource for Anglican prayerbooks is http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/ I've used it often. It includes Merbeke's Book of Common...
Hi. I've been experimenting with making paternosters and have a problem with tying of the ends of the cords so was wondering how other people deal with this. ...
... I never trust silk knots -- at a minimum, I will always add a drop of glue to the center of the knot before the final tightening. The glues I use are...
Some suggestions as I teach threading and knotting: Avoid glue or nailpolish! And crimps are cheap-looking as well as inappropriate. The only knot that...
I don't do mine in silk, I use cotton and I make them with lucetted cord either in single strand or in two strand. With care you can make such cord with loops...

I realize that what I am going to write is heresy for some; but when I make a rosary,it is for its intended use, not decoration. I have found that silk or...
The trouble with superglue is that it flows inside the holes even of the smallest beads where it hardens rigid. This spoils them permanently and you would have...
Thanks for the reply! I might experiment with ading glue into the equation. An yes, I find the fingerloop ones much stronger. My first paternosters I made...
... Thanks for this one! I've done this in other contexts where I don't trust knots to stay tied, and it works splendidly. My brain had just not made the...
Do you have any information on the usage of horsehair for threading beads? ... <trimmed> -- "There but for the grace of a demented deity, go I" - Tales of the...
I use surgeon's knots (double-over hand) as taught to me by a local Laurel. The knots make a strand sit/flow nicer as well. For gemstone paternosters or...
I've found that fisherman's knots work. The tricksy part is that fisherman's knots don't lie as flat as overhand knots. You have to fuss with fisherman's...
Yes before nylon fishing line the only stuff strong and fine enough, and stiff enough not to need a needle, was horsehair, and its generally the right length!...
That's helpful. Do you have any hard info, like text from a book or info from a museum? I'm trying to find more information on string types used in jewelry...
Greetings, Dumb question: Has anyone come across Catholic restriction on using glue? If not, then I'd guess it was used. Hide glue and rabbit glue are too...
