Hello, I’m Oyla — a toy designer and knitter behind the brand OlaKnittedBears.
I have been knitting since childhood. My grandmother taught me to knit, using her old needles and warm patience — and that love has stayed with me ever since.
Today I design cute knitted toys and toy outfits, created slowly and with heart. Each toy feels like it’s born in my hands over a few quiet days, stitch by stitch.
I’m a mother of two sons who love sports, speed, and baking cakes. When they visit, they bring cake and yarn — and yes, I’m happiest about the yarn.
I also have a beloved red cat named Peach. While I knit, he sleeps on my knees and supervises the process.
My family supports and believes in me, and that gives me the courage to keep creating.
I want to create many warm, gentle designs for you — toys that tell stories and bring comfort.
Join me, knit with me, and share your creations with the world.
With love, Olya

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.
As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.
Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
