At the present moment, two, one of which is the thumb ring type. I have owned many, but I always end up giving them away.
 
šŸ˜‰ I have four (one is currently broken however) - so I guess I canā€™t choose any of the options.

I make rosaries, so I have an awful lot of them!!
At the moment there are over a hundred, not yet heat-sealed yetā€¦When thatā€™s done, they will go off to Rosary Army, & I will be down to my usual number, which is really a lotā€¦
I am thinking of making different colored ones for the different sets of mysteries.
Oh, & I saw today, yet another site selling rosary twine, & my head is spinning with all the possibilities!!
 
Two that I own, but more among my possessions that donā€™t have clear ownership within the family. šŸ˜‰

Hi, Zooey!

Yesterday, thatā€™s what I would have said, but I did a major Holy Week drop off to a priest and a chapel this morning. Starting afresh with Divine Mercy rosaries. . .

Whereā€™s the new twine site?

For myself, I have 2: one in my purse and one on my bedtable. Most of the rest of the time I have bunches to give away. Making rosaries is fun, addictive, and you can even find yourself praying them while making them!

I too voted that I have so many rosaries I can start my own business. LOL Itā€™s a combination of rosaries that I have bought and made (I make twine-corded bead rosaries in varying colors).

My favorite rosary is a light-blue colored beaded rosaryā€¦ I love it because the color always reminds me of Our Lady. I even painted my room the same color. šŸ˜Š

God bless
 
i have bought many and made some. The latest one Iā€™ve made with acorns (in place of beads) and a twig (in place of the crucifix).

i thought that it was a good idea making it out of natural material as opposed to manmade. I think it makes it feel (to me) more spiritual and a bit less secular.
 
I have bought sooooo many. I think I actually may start collecting them. Funny thing is, I only use about 3 to actually say the rosary. I think Iā€™m going to maybe have one for each day!!šŸ˜›
 
I have several rosaries, but I only use about 3 or 4 that I usually pray with. I have found that some just feel better in my hand than others do. And I have some plastic beaded ones that my girls use, and they color coordinate them with their outfits! Yep, if one of them has on a brown skirt, then she must pray with the brown rosary. My littlest one insists on the pink rosary.
 
I have rosaries the way some people have mice. This minute I could lay my hands on about a dozen, but there are probably more in the house, plus a few in each of our vehicles, for one thing, there is one in every purse, so when I change I donā€™t have to worry about being without one. I like to carry several because they are such a great evangelization tool.
 
I make chain and flexwire rosaries, so right now I have a bunch of them. I think Iā€™m going to talk to the owner of the local Catholic bookstore about selling them. I donā€™t need to make a profitā€“just enough to cover my habit šŸ™‚
 
I have multiples of them. My aunt was a rosary collector and she died last year so I have quite a few that my mother let us pick from. I only use one that Iā€™ve had for over twenty years, the beads are made out of some kind of clay mixed with dried rose petals. when it is held in the hand the heat from your body releases the scent of roses. Our Adoration chapel is really warm, especially during the winter months, it has left the whole chapel smelling of roses, and I can smell it on my hands for some time afterwards. It is my favorite.
 
I have a few special chain rosaries of my own, but I make knotted twine rosaries. At the moment, I probably have 100-150 in various stages of completion. Most of them will be sent to the troops in Iraq. The remainder will be give to my fellow parishoners and various missions.
 
Iā€™ve got ten so far and use a different one every day, but there are more in the works! I love making rosaries using sterling silver findings and semiprecious stones. I have found that once you start working with these beautiful stones you become addicted to them. I love them because theyā€™re ā€œGod madeā€ for our pleasure and perfect for rosary beads! Canā€™t think of any better suited for the purpose.

I keep them in a floss organizer caddy. (Counted cross-stitch is another of my addictions)

I love wooden beads ā€¦ they have more of a natural (and masculine) look ā€¦ preferably olive or brazil wood. Nothing says the ā€œChurchā€ like a rosary even more than a gold saint medal or cross around the neck. šŸ˜›
