What does cast on 8 stitches at beginning of next 2 rows in knitting?

It means to add 8 new stitches. You do this by turning needles so they are reversed, then insert right needle into stitches as if to knit, YO (Yarn Over), and pull loop through, slip loop just worked back onto left needle and repeat for required number of stitches.
Remember that you do this, casting on of 8 stitches, on the next row also (the "next 2 rows" statement).

Knit into the next stitch and instead of pulling the old loop off, twist the new loop back on to the first needle just as you would when casting on originally. Do this twice then continue knitting as usual. You will have made a hole in the fabric.

What stitch makes knitting elastic?
Knitting can be made more elastic by using stretchy stitches such as ribbing. Ribbing is typically 1x1 or 2x2, but many other types of ribbing are possible, and many non-ribbing stitches are also stretchy. 1x1 ribbing is formed by knitting one stitch and purling the next. Repeat these two stitches to the end of the row. On following rows, "knit the knits and purl the purls." This simply means you should look at the stitch you are about to work and determine whether it looks like a knit or like a purl. Remember that a purl is simply the back side of a knit stitch. Knit stitches look like the letter "V," while purl stitches look like dashes ("-"). 2x2 ribbing is very similar to 1x1 ribbing except that you knit two stitches and purl the next two stitches. Again repeat to the end of the row, and again "knit the knits and purl the purls."

What does it mean when a knitting pattern says to WYF slip next 7 stitches?
You probably are doing knit stitches so the yarn is at the back of the project. Move the yarn to the front (as if you were starting to purl) and move the stitches from the left needle to the right needle (if you are left handed from right to left). Then continue your project accordingly. WYF means "with yarn in front"

What does C2B. C2F.means in knitting?
C2B = Cable 2 back. C2F = Cable 2 front. Usually you will find the definitions for knitting abbreviations in the header section of your pattern. Although these two abbreviations are fairly common they are often used for different types of cable depending on the design of the garment. C2B could mean "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next two stitches on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle." Or it could mean "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle." Or it could mean "slip the next stitch onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the stitch on the cable needle." Your best bet is to check the pattern to find the definition used by the designer. Please note: The general accepted abbreviation C2B (Cross 2 Back) and C2F (Cross 2 Front) are generally formed using method 2 above (i.e., "slip the next two stitches onto a cable needle and hold at the back, knit the next stitch on the left hand needle and then knit the two stitches on the cable needle.").
