Anna Hrachovec
Anna Hrachovec is a designer and artist who is obsessed with knitting little toys and bringing them to life through stop-motion animation. She named her woolly world Mochimochi Land after learning to knit in Japan, which is also where she fell in love with squishy, adorable, delicious mochi. And Hello Kitty!
Anna has exhibited her creations in galleries across the US, and in Europe and Asia. Her animation clients have included Nickelodeon, The Washington Post, and Sesame Street. A new animated series featuring based on her knitted world, Woolly Woolly, is set to debut on television in France and Canada in 2025.
Anna’s first picture book, Catside Up, Catside Down, was published in September 2023. In it, Anna’s cozy, knitted cats find themselves in all sorts of funny positions to introduce prepositions like over, under, between, beside, and many more!
