What does the term slip marker mean in knitting?
A "marker" is a ring that you put on your knitting needle to mark where a pattern begins. When there is a special set of stitches, such as a cable or a popcorn pattern, you put a small marker on the needle to remind yourself where the pattern begins and ends. These markers can be anything that reminds you--a plastic ring, a different color loop of yarn, or thread on your needle. It should be loose enough to simply transfer from one needle to another. Since it is just a "place holder", you don't do anything with it except move it from one needle to another, it is a "slip" from one place to another. So when the pattern says slip marker, it simply means to move the marker from one needle to another and continue knitting.

What does sl1 mean in knitting?
In knitting, sl1 means to slip one stitch. To do this simply slip the stitch from the left hand needle to the right without knitting it. Stitches can either be slipped purlwise or knitwise. If slipped purlwise, the stitch will not twist but if slipped knitwise it will twist. Therefore, if the pattern does not specify which way to slip the stitch, it is best to slip purlwise. See the related link for a diagram showing how to slip stitches.
What does the abbreviation M mean in a knitting pattern?
M means 'marker'. This is normally a small circle of plastic or metal or contrast yarn (I use paper clips or safety pins) hooked on the needle between specific stitches. For example, if you were knitting a lace pattern and wanted to 'mark' each pattern repeat or to 'mark' where a thumb will be knit on a glove or mitten. PM means 'pass marker' by moving the marker from one needle to the other when you get to it after knitting the stitches before it.
