Is it still handmade?

So I have found a new knitting toy. Literally a toy. It's a toy knitting machine that I found at Toys R Us (it also came with a sewing machine that really works too). It makes a small tube of knitting or it can make a flat piece. It takes about 15 seconds to set up and you just crank it can it works!! The fabric doesn't come out perfect, sometimes the stitches get a little caught, but it will work itself out and you can barely tell from the outside. I am using to make scarves for my club's fundraiser and to donate to children through my school. I love it!! I made four scarves today. But I don't know if it is considered handmade. It's not really manufactured so I don't know what to call. But I did make pom poms for it. I will post a pic when I remember but it would be a cool present for kids and good you need to make a ton of scarves.
