Love the mitts. I first saw it donkey's yonks ago as the title of a Ravelry group. To me, it insinuates that if you're not knitting for someone else, you're a pretty rotten person. I knit as a hobby. Knitting for other people is not something I enjoy. When I'm asked if I'll knit something for someone else, I offer to teach them to knit. I've never been taken up on the offer.
