I'm assuming you're asking if machine knitting is easier than handknitting? It's a different sort of movement - you have to run a carriage back and forth, which involves your arms and torso. It does require some strength to do large pieces, heavy yarn, stiff tension, etc. It's also hard to leave a piece midway through because it will stretch if left to hang off the needles. It's a PITA to take things off the needle bed and put it back on. Because I rarely have large chunks of time, I rarely mk anymore.
