When you reach the slip knot, knit it just like all of the other stitches, throwing it off at the end just like the other stitches. When you have knit the slip knot, all of the stitches should be on the right needle, and the left needle should be completely free*.
*There may be some exceptions to this rule, as in circular knitting, but this will not be addressed until you are an advanced knitter, and you don't have to worry about that right now.

Using a pair of double pointed needles, cast on 4 stitches. Instead of turning and knitting back the other direction, slide all four stitches to other opposite end of the needle and knit into the first stitch that you cast on. Knit the rest of the stitches on the needle. Slide them down to the opposite end and repeat. You are knitting in the round on a very small scale. Bind off as you would in the round.

How do to do purl 1 into the back of the second yarn over in knitting?
Bring the yarn to the front of the work (the side closest to you). Insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle from back to front. Imagine the stitch is a little cowboy sitting on a horse. The tip of the left needle is the horse's nose. The cowboy is facing to your right. Be sure you insert the right needle under the cowboy from the tail of the "horse" toward the horse's nose. Wrap the yarn around the tip of the right needle normally (for most American and European knitters this would be counter clock-wise). Pull the wrap under the left needle and to the back. There is now a brand new purl stitch on the right needle and it is time to drop the old stitch off the left needle. The link below shows a video clip on how to purl. It's generally much easier to get the hang of if you can watch it demonstrated.
