Well, I pulled in the collar on the r/w/b pullover. It's not perfect but it's better. I've since finished a purple crocheted cardigan. I'm very pleased with the results. I'm a much better crocheter than a knitter.

Red-White-Blue Problem
The neckline turned out all wrong. It puckers -- badly. I've been told I need to rip it out and do it over -- this time gathering about 8 additional stitches around. I did the pattern correctly. Size seems to fit ok, but I think the pattern was wrong for the number of stitches to bind off around the neckline.
I'm going to try to post my Punkin' hat on this blog for free.
