The primary difference is that "crocheting" uses a hook to continuously interlace threads layer by layer to form a fabric, finishing with a knot to secure the entire piece. "Macrame," on the other hand, uses knots to firmly secure threads one by one, accumulating countless "knots" to gradually build the entire piece. This process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, placing considerable strain on the small muscle groups of the fingers, which can lead to fatigue and even injury. Given this fundamental structural difference: In "crocheting," if the finishing knot loosens, it can easily cause the interlocked threads to unravel and the fabric to fall apart. In "macrame," each knot is intentionally tightened, and typically multiple knots are used. To unravel it requires undoing each knot individually, making both the creation and dismantling process time-consuming and laborious. "Crocheting" offers greater flexibility and variety in thread length and color combinations during creation, allowing for seamless joins that are less noticeable, resulting in richer variations and patterns. "Macrame" relies on the accumulated experience of the creator and records of thread specifications and lengths from previous works. To achieve a flawless finish without visible joins from adding extra thread, it's best to cut the threads to the required specifications, lengths, and quantities before starting. The process essentially involves continuous wrapping and knotting of threads. Of course, with the skill and creativity of the artisan, "macrame" can also incorporate different color blocks to showcase beauty and style. For larger creations requiring substantial amounts of thread, imagine the visual of each thread needing to be secured with a bundle of others as work progresses. The final "finishing"... For "crocheting," it's a relatively simple matter of tying a knot at the end of the thread to secure it and prevent unraveling. However, for "macrame," it can often be a test. Because the fabric is formed by knotting many parallel threads, numerous thread ends remain at the end. These can be left to hang naturally, depending on the finished product or the artist's desired aesthetic. If a more refined finish is desired, it can be a challenge that tests the artist's experience and skill in managing the loose ends.
