This little heart-knitting gnome is pretty famous on the internet, I think. I have seen him used in knitting and non-knitting contexts, and pretty much never with credit to the artist responsible for the kntting and the animation.
The other day I learned that Anna Hrachovec is the artist behind this little gem and so many others. Her website is mochimochiland.com. She has patterns and tutorials and a blog and links to more animation and all of her social media accounts.
She is teaching a class in the fall as part of a program called KnitStars (there is a link on her website), so you can check it out, too.
Me, I am going to watch the little gnome knit hearts a while longer.
