Knot for Sale
While I never set out with the intention to make anything but fancy rosaries, the news that the Rosary Army's apostlate was continuing to grow at a rapid rate, to the point that they were running out of various colors of rosaries to send out, combined with the news that their main twine distributor was having some difficulties, sprang me into unexpected action.
Here are 36 knotted twine rosaries with metal crucifixes ready to be packed up for their journey to Conyers where they will then be sent... elsewhere, to whomever asks for one. I did not make all these rosaries however, more than half of them were knotted by Aimee, who came over to watch the video the day my 2 spools of twine from the new Reicken and Sons Twine Store arrived. Aimee now has an insatiable appetite for rosary twine and turns them out faster than I can hand her 20 foot cut lengths. We've made another (larger) order of twine and crucifixes and are hoping to teach others from our church how to make rosaries. Not only is rosary knotting addicting, but it's awesome to be able to give something as fantastic as the rosary to anyone who asks for one. Priceless!
Aimee, happily carrying her rosary making addiction monkey on her back!

Mwah hah hah hah hah!!!! I LOVE seeing new Rosary-making adddicts! :)
Woo! Wikipedia! We've made the big time now.
We actually get a ton of traffic I'm discovering, just not a lot of comments. So that's what we need: comments! And have no fear, knotting rosaries is fun for us artsy types. I will send you some of our new twine and instructions in my next package to Belgium.
