I have recently taken to referring to crochet as my "socially acceptable fidget toy" because a) it's true, but also because b) other neurodivergent people seem to be DELIGHTED by this description.

https://youtu.be/_fao3RsZ-80?t=1225 shows a technique called "weaving" in her knitting manual, but I think for hand-knitters it's closer to roosimine or Estonian Inlay? It's not an exact replication because it's done in a way that takes advantage of the affordances of the machine, but produces a somewhat similar effect.

The technique that I don't think can really be reproduced by hand-knitting is "plating" which knits with two contrasting yarns at once, but instead of producing a marled effect, the yarns are carefully arranged so that one is always to the front and one is always to the back. I don't see how a hand knitter could achieve this, but perhaps you know of a way?: https://youtu.be/_fao3RsZ-80?t=1346

I enjoy the creativity of knitfactoryImpl's youtube channel but this video showing off the capabilities of a particular knitting machine was fascinating. You can watch the whole thing but I'm going to put in timestamps to talk about a couple of particular techniques

Some white #crochet from our Festival ...
Does anybody know how this "wavy" technique (photo 3/4) was called/made:
edit: Image search showed me "Victorian hexagons". I found originals from the 1920/50s but it may be much older.
On Ravelry I found modernized patterns with "popcorns": https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/marguerite-bedspread-6132
