Shrek Forever After: I Knitted Donkey And Shrek

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 “OlaKnittedBears — knitting toys slowly, with heart”
