    If i understand your question Steve, the way to do this is to twist
    the strands individually, all in the same direction: 

    You can do this by fixing one end to a flat surface, seperating the
    other strands and rolling your palm accross the top of all 3 at
    once.  Then hold the loose end to keep any of the strands from
    untwisting - the strands will naturally twist together and stay in
    that position.  You can then attach the finding or knot on the loose
    end.  You might want to try this with thread or string first to see
    how it works.  Its a neat trick that I learned from my wife who sews
    alot.
