About Ambah

With a background in painting, Ambah has a deep passion for color and engaging design. Making has always been a fundamental part of her life, stemming from a childhood spent surrounded by my mother’s textile art and design, often scavenging through her fabric scraps.
She discovered knitting relatively late, taught in 2012 by her then eight-year-old son, who was a stickler for fixing my mistakes! In knitting, Ambah has found a craft that truly resonates. The slow, rhythmic nature of stitching has become a way to express creativity, produce practical items, and enjoy soul-soothing benefits.
This quickly developed into a design obsession. When she couldn’t find patterns to match the specific visions in her mind, ambah began creating her own. Her designs are influenced by everything – fashion, nature, hand-dyed yarn, and art. They are straightforward, size-inclusive, and wearable, enabling knitters to express their own creativity through color choices.
In addition to design, Ambah actively fosters community by creating spaces for knitters to “k2tog” (knit together), regulary hosting Knit-Alongs (KALs) and community activities within her Ravelry group.
Ambah’s ultimate goal is to design knitting patterns that are both creative and flexible, allowing knitters to fully express their personal creativity while working on them.

When not designing she’ll be wandering about her vegetable garden, sewing, thrifting or going for a beach ramble having recently relocated to the coast in Southern Victoria, grateful to live on Boonwurrung Country.
