hand knitting vs. machine knitting

Hand knitting involves manually creating fabric with two needles, allowing for detailed customization, intricate patterns, and a personal touch. It’s flexible for small projects or unique designs, but can be time-consuming. Machine knitting uses automated machinery to produce fabric rapidly, often resulting in consistent, uniform stitches suitable for large-scale production. While machine knitting offers efficiency and precision, it may limit design complexity compared to hand knitting. Both methods produce high-quality textiles; the choice depends on project scope, desired detail, and production speed.
