Sokket purrs, snuggling into Knitto's nap for a bedtime story. Sokket lowers it's ears, which are beneath the Jester hat extrusions of the sock puppet costume skin. Knitto clears her throat, "So uh, whatcha want to hear a story about? We've got many book options." Sokket thinks, then asking about Knitto's past. Knitto takes a deep breath, "Well... it all started when I began a toy company!"

Hello! This is Screeno, your news Mixel on the street. I'm here in Stitchlie Valley's very own Knittown to investigate something! Word around here says, there's a toy shop with... LIVING toys!, says the narrating Newzer, taking my NARRATION JOB. Anyways, he enters a shop known as the Swampy Marsh Toy Shoppe, observing the various toys, all handcrafted out of yarn. Screeno heads to the cashier, being a Wiztastic with one eyeglass.
Hey you! Know where the shop owner is?, Asks Screeno. The Wiztastic grins, pressing a bell as she eats a plate of spaghetti and yarn balls. Knitto comes out quickly, "Wh-what seems to be the problem?" Oh no, there's no problem!, Screeno reassures as Camsta waves at Knitto, I just wanted to know... are the toys alive?
Knitto chuckles, waving back at Camsta, "Ahahah! You're just like the kids that frequent here! Don't worry, they're not alive. Although I do experiment on doing so as a side project heh... but y'know, I put my essence into everything I make!" Screeno grins, Well you heard it here folks! Nothing but a lady who wants to make kids joyf-
But then a parent who was listening in freaks out, "YOU MAKE LIVING TOYS???" "No! I-" Knitto tries to calm them down, but now a horde has surrounded her, asking a million questions a minute. The Wiztastic conveniently had left on break during the news interview. Woah woah!, Screeno exclaims, trying to settle the crowd, I-I'm just a trainee... we were only having a funny cha-
A toy is thrown at a wall, as many more follow in a destructive path from many confused Mixels, causing Knitto a lot of anguish, "I- guys I-" she begins crying and eventually freaks out in anger, "Just... GET OUT!" Everyone freezes, having never seen her get angry before. Knitto whacks some customers with her glove-like head in a fit of rage, leading to the closure of the Toy Shoppe.
Knitto sighs, the entirety of Knittown raising rubber mallets and knitting needles, banishing Knitto to the Stitchlie Valley hills, where barely any Stitchlies ever go.

"And... yeah... I became an N-Mixel due to being ostracized by the previous Stitchlie leader alongside the whole town," Knitto says in a matter-of-fact manner, "But, now I've gots you! Night night!," Knitto says to a now traumatized Sokket.
