Go Lisa, go!
Your slip knot is actually your first stitch, that is why I told you to knit it off before e-wrapping the rest of the way around for the second time to make row one. It stabilizes this stitch.

Hey Joyce,
I use to place my slip knot on the anchor peg and had tons of weird things happen like knitting off issues on peg one, or yarn getting tangled, or by forgetting to take the knot off after a few rows, things got crooked. I started placing my slip knot on peg one and it has made a huge difference. My projects are straighter, I seem to have less tangling issues, the world is a happier place now.
