Prime Prism is a scarf pattern that used highly contrasting colors and short rows for a geometric pop. A little Intarsia is thrown in to make your contrast color stand out even more.

With football season upon us, it would look great in your preferred teams colors as well.

$2 of each pattern sale will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to help others see the light in the dark.

Pattern Premise:

Having done my undergrad research in Dark Matter, I love looking up at the night sky knowing that there are so many things out there that we simply cannot see. It is one of the reasons that Starry Night is a favorite painting of mine. Just because it looks dark, does not mean it is empty. Just because the light cannot reach you, does not mean you should not reach for it.

Growing up, rainbows showed me there were colors hidden in the light. How glorious is it that a small raindrop and a ray of sunshine create something that has awed us for millennia. Nature’s gorgeous prism was one of the reasons I wanted to go into Physics. I was always looking up at the sky at any time of the day or night. I still do.

For entirely non-scientific reasons, I have spent a significant part of my life trying to help others see the light, while they struggle with the darkness that threatens to consume them. While I fight the darkness every day, I also get lost in it when looking at the night sky. Without the darkness, the light cannot shine. Without light, the world around us has no color.

The primary sample of Prime Prism shows my favorite dark and light contract. Look at how well the colors of the light play against the darkness. Because there is a geeky little math addict running around my brain, I pulled prime numbers into play. Hence the name, Prime Prism.

I cannot wait to see how your light and darkness coexist in your Prime Prism.
