You are right! Fingers are much more handy and useful when doing the Chaplet, or Rosary. I’m not sure if it’s acceptable, but share a picture of some of your work! Would love to see it.
I have my original set from my first holy communion in 1975. I keep two sets in a pouch in my jacket pocket. As a gift my husband gave me a sterling silver set that I never take off. So, I guess my answer is Yes, I always carry rosary beads with me.
My Miraculous Medal is back to back of my crucifix on one link. I repair rosaries so I added the medal myself and Jesus doesn’t get scratched up or worn because Mary’s medal is behind Him Try that maybe.
