Amie Palmer is a lifelong fiber arts enthusiast who believes there are two types of projects: the ones that require concentration and those meant for meeting up to chat with fellow fiber artists. She always has at least one of each in progress.

Based in Durham, NC, Amie loves teaching for local yarn shops and regional fiber festivals. She has taught at Southeastern Animal Fiber Festival, New York Sheep and Wool Festival, Carolina Fiber Festival, Blue Ridge Fiber Festival and a variety of knitting retreats. She is a TKGA member and TKGA Certified Knitting Judge, as well as, a CGOA member with Master’s certification in both Fundamentals and Advanced Stitches & Techniques. She also holds both knit and crochet instructor certifications from Craft Yarn Council.

Using her background in engineering, Amie breaks patterns and stitches into simple chunks to make them accessible to anyone. Her classes encourage understanding the “why” of a technique to enable the “how” of bringing a project to life. Amie’s favorite projects include custom-fitted sweaters, brioche knitting, and exploring the technical side of knitting and crochet. Her sweaters and colorful felted purses have won awards at the North Carolina State Fair and Southeastern Animal Fiber Festival.
