Garter Stitch Technique Tutorial!

No, not ACTUALLY how to knit garter stitch, but rather how to pick up stitches along a bound off edge of garter stitch to keep the fabric contiguous! It’s a quick tutorial that will help you on the way to knitting the best neckline on your Oceansider sweater (yep… I’m talking about the sweater that released last week!).
