Purple rain Avalon: collar and cuffs

I added gold ruffles to the cuffs of the jacket with a purple velvet ribbon to hide unsightly ends of the ruffle. I also made a gold flower to pin to the collar. I still need to attach it to a pin base but that's just a moment with a hot glue gun. I haven't made the frogs yet. I found a tutorial for it but I really didn't like how they turned out. I know that I can make them much nicer than that so I've busted out my pirated copy of Irish Crochet: Technique and Projects by the Priscilla Publishing Co. and will be crocheting my little heart out soon.
