In the case of yours, did you crochet together strips of knit? Or did you crochet a color line over the top of your knitting?
Thank you again for your very informative reply!
Correct - knit one row, purl one row. Make color changes as applicable with each row. The entire row is one color.
Correct - use a blunt needle, like a needlepoint needle, and it looks like a plain running stitch in each vertical row of knitting.
In mine - the whole thing was knitted - knit one row, purl one row. The only difference in my knitting is that I had color changes along the way (the green squares). The only crochet work was to crochet in the vertical lines.
