Amie Palmer is the teacher and designer behind Daisy & Clover Designs
Based in Durham, NC, Amie loves teaching for local yarn shops, knitting retreats, guild meetings. She also teaches regionally at Southeastern Animal Fiber Festival, New York Sheep and Wool Festival, Carolina Fiber Festival, and Blue Ridge Fiber Festival.
Her designs are intended to expand your skills while creating a functional object that you’ll enjoy using. Her number one goal is for you to love what you make.
Amie graduated from Georgia Tech with a Masters in Electrical Engineering. She interned for Lawrence Livermore National Lab before working in telecom for ten years. During college, she dabbled in knitting and made a couple of lumpy sweaters. After having kids, she discovered that carpool lines are excellent places to pick up an old skill and teach it new tricks. Yards and yards of yarn later, she finds that basic math and breaking patterns into simple chunks are the best way to take the guess work out of knitting projects.
Amie believes there are two types of projects: those that require concentration and those meant for meeting up to chat with fellow makers. She always has at least one of each in process. Amie’s favorite projects include custom-fitted sweaters, brioche, and exploration of the technical side of knitting and crocheting.
Her sweaters and colorful felted purses have won awards at the North Carolina State Fair and Southeastern Animal Fiber Festival.
