Vocab in independent reading novel

While i was reading my independent reading novel i noticed a few vocab words that i was unsure what they meant, one is
Indelible the way it is used in my book the definition is- containing indelible substance: containing indelible ink or lead. The quote it is from is "She would have written BLISTER with red indelible marker on the inside of the desk so other kids would know that she had been there.

Another word i was unsure of is
Insinuate the way it is used in my book it means- worm your way in: to introduce yourself gradually and cunningly into a position, especially a place of confidence or favor. The quote it is from is "She didn't like the way Frank Holt insinuated himself into her life, layin a claim on her."

The final word i found that i didn't know was
Knurly the way it is used in my book is means- having knurls or knots; gnarled
