Timeline

Skip wakes up in the Mending Loft scrap bin with green yarn hair nobody remembers choosing. Old Needle claims no responsibility.

Skip assembles his legendary button collection and names every single one. Buttons the brass one becomes his best friend.

Skip wins the bottle-cap cart race by a nose, then crashes into a quilt wall. The dent remains; locals call it the Skip Mark.

Skip stage-dives for the first time and is caught by forty creatures at once. He calls it the best night of his life.

Skip's left arm pops off mid-race. Old Needle reattaches it with reinforced stitching. He shows the scar to everyone.

Skip patrols the Alley, assists at the Loft, leads the Thimble Gang, and never sits still for long.
