[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rosary Making Question ....

[Eileen Scrivani]

Hi Susan:

Well, I was afraid of this.  Before I went crazy and took it apart I was 
hoping there was another solution that I wasn't aware of.  I know the 
sequence of the Our Fathers & the Hail Marys, but always get confused with 
the prayers said on the tail piece especially coming back to it at the end. 
Ah well, now I know I have to rework the main strand without question. 
Thanks for answering my questions & for your help.

Eileen
