"That's the spirit." Gabe grinned at him. "But there's no reason to jump ahead, if you're still getting used to things. Tying knots can be tricky, and the cross will be more so. Especially since we don't have any tools."

Really, if the beads here weren't so large he would have had more trouble with them. There were a few differently-coloured lengths of twine, but the only colour suitable for a rosary was the brown, so Gabe separated that out. "Are you familiar with the barrel knot?" he asked. "We can practise them a bit first before starting on the rosary proper, if you need to."
