weavers, knitters

No Brasil malheiro é alguém que faz malhas (sweaters). Em Portugal também?

Não sei bem a diferença entre weaver e knitter mas acho que weaver usa máquina (loom) e o knitter faz com agulhas.

Thanks. :)
neutral A. Patricia Pedraza : I'd discard weaver as it refers to making cloth, fabric, rugs, basket weaving. I'd keep knitters; there are hand and machine knitters
