To begin with it was really hard to knit, due to using bluntish metal needles, but I went through my collection and came up with some wooden DPNs which make it much easier to work. ❋ Penny (2008)

About three feet long, blade broad on top and not tapering much to a bluntish point, it had a short, straight iron guard and a wide, flat-bottomed pommel rounded like a scoop of ice cream. ❋ Anderson, Poul, 1926- (1999)

Rhizome short with membranous, orange or brown scales having a few bluntish teeth on each edge. ❋ George Henry Tilton (N/A)

The flowers are 1in. to 1½in. long, and about as much across when open, of a fine purple colour, with a shining satiny appearance; the six transparent petal-like divisions are of uneven form, having short bluntish points; from the openness of the corolla the stamens and style are well exposed, and they are very beautiful. ❋ John Wood (N/A)
