Anna Hrachovec is a designer and artist who loves to knit little creatures. She is also the author and creator of Catside Up, Catside Down: A Book of Prepositions. Just about everything is more fun in tiny knitted form, so she's inspired by everything! Under her designer brand, Mochimochi Land, Anna has created hundreds of knitting patterns for a global following of creature-crafting fans. When she's not making cute stuff out of yarn, Anna is busy making stop-motion animations with her woolly friends. Her heart-knitting gnome is one of the most widely shared animated GIFs in the world. Anna lives in Chicago with her husband, two kids, and two cats. (And she loves meeting dogs on the city streets!).
