This design was an instant blend of seeing the yarn and the design flew onto a notepad. As I worked up the initial piece, and my testers worked up theirs, countless other color options came to light. Options, options, options is the name of the game here. If you have heavy main skeins there is an option for you, if you are worried about running out there is an option for you, if you want to showcase all of your accents in the middle there is an option for you. Everything is spelled out for you in the pattern.
And if you are wondering where the name came from its from, in my opinion, the greatest band in the world The Goo Goo Dolls.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
-Your width will stay the same, but your length will vary depending on which Option you choose. The following are using Option 2 which uses the most yarn:
Pre-Block- 83” x 13”
Blocked- 102” x 20”
-I did block this piece with pins and wires.
