A useful site which, among other things, tells us how to make a rosary style cord using only knots. It's nice. My advice is to have a piece of string to practice and only try to understand the instructions when you have string in hand. It's useful to know also that clicking on the photos gets bigger ones ...

three and then letting that lead you off into free prayer based on
that phrase. I've recently started suggesting people try it that way
too."
Which sounds just in the realm of my book and the further developments at AbbeyNous ...
