I really enjoy how you do the knots without tweezers. I am very new to this and am so happy to finally be able to the knots with tweezers :). Now can practice without.

[@theweekendmystic]

Woot woot! Thanks Ivaylo -- I'm so glad you like that knotting method. :) Thank you so much for watching!

[@iimv]

@@theweekendmystic Oh no no no, thank you for putting the work to make the video.

[@marniefriedman9564]

I would love to learn how you make the pendants.

[@pamuksandra6776]

Hi, I would love to learn how to set crystals in pewter! Love your videos

[@theweekendmystic]

Oh yayyyyyy! :D I will have to make a how-to with the pewter soon. Thank you so much for letting me know you're interested!

[@danieller1979]

Just found this video and its great! Thank you! My question is does the focal bead count in the 108 beads?

[@theweekendmystic]

Not generally, no. It's the "guru" bead -- a nod to your teacher or the intention. 😊

[@cecsmith1]

So are you able to use one card of silk per mala? I’m wondering if those are 6 or 8 sized beads as well. Thank you for answering

[@stephtroxler4679]

I would love to learn how to set the crystals in pewter :) that looks amazing

[@theweekendmystic]

I would love to do a video on this -- thanks so much for letting me know you're interested! :D

[@lisahockaday4519]

Would love to see how you made it

[@theweekendmystic]

Thanks Lisa! :D I will definitely make a little video on how I make the pewter pendants. Thank you so much for watching!

[@sarahknoll3421]

So beautiful. What string size do you recommend for 6mm beads and 8mm beads? Thank you

[@theweekendmystic]

Most of the time I recommend 0.8mm Griffing silk, not doubled. If you're using doubled cord, you'll want to go 0.45mm or thereabouts. I wrote a more in-depth article about mala cord here if you're interested! :) theweekendmystic.com/blogs/mystic-blog/the-best-cord-for-mala-making Thank you so much for watching!

[@nadinevanderpoorten7416]

Love your bead board, where can we buy it!?

[@theweekendmystic]

GAH! Sorry about the delay! I sell them at TheWeekendMystic.com - thank you so much for asking! :D

[@TurquoiseStreet]

This was soooo calming! AND I guess I never thought about some of the stuff you said about using natural stringing material!! ALSO! Holy poop! You made that pendant?!?! I need to know how!!! ☀️🌈💚

[@theweekendmystic]

LMAO yes ma'am! I made it! LOL I'm going to make a video someday soon to show you how! :D

[@jilladams3103]

Counting goes much quicker if you count out 4 piles.....of 27. Quicker than poop thru a goose.
