I take it that your problem with the slip knot is that it is too tight on the edge when the piece is finished. Yes, you must have a slip knot to start the work, but instead of counting that slip knot stitch as your stitch, simply add an extra stitch in the opposite direction and don't work the original slip knot. The advantage of this method is that the entire work will be an even edging without that annoying "pull" to the edge.
So what to do with that dangly stitch? When you are done, untie the slip knot, and weave it into the selvage it is on. It eliminates the pull, hides the end, and you will be much happier with the results.
The other option is to learn the double cast method of casting on. While it still involves a slip knot, it is at the other end of the row, and for me, it won't get too tight *because* it is at the other end. That is, I won't pull it too tight while I am knitting.

What does slip 1 mean in knitting?
There are two ways to slip a stitch, knit-wise and purl-wise. When in doubt, generally you should slip purl-wise. Insert the needle into the stitch to be slipped either as if to knit (knit-wise) or as if to purl (purl-wise). Then slide it off the left needle without pulling a new stitch through it. That's all there is to it. Here are some applications: For a tidy selvage edge, slip the first stitch of each row purl-wise. For a decrease that is the mirror image of a K2TOG, do an SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit). Slip one stitch knit-wise. Slip another stitch knit-wise. Slipping knit-wise gives the stitches a half twist. Now slip them both together back onto the left needle, passing them with the needles held tip to tip. Knit them together through the back loops.

How do you do a slip knot?
If you mean a regular slip knot, I can help. You start out by looping a strand of yarn around your finger. Then,you slip it off, keeping the loop intact. You take string from the yarn on the right side of the loop and lay it across the loop. Pull it through the loop, closing it. The yarn should be poking out, and should closely resemble a noose. And then, you're done. As a cautionary note, I would like to add that if you pull on either side of the knot at once, then the knot will slip apart, hence the name 'slip knot.' So, be careful!
