Besides, why is my last knit stitch loose?
Everyone's last stitch is a bit loose because it's only connected to the other stitch on one side. Just pull that one really tight on the next row and let it sort of wrap around the needle. Another option is to slip the first stitch in each row for a nicer edge. If you're using large needles, it compounds the problem.
Secondly, can you bind off on a purl row? In a purled row, the stitches we have on our needle are purled as well. We are going to cast off the stitches in the same way: purling them. Purl 2 stitches, pass the second stitch onto the right-hand needle over the first letting it fall off the needle. You will have cast off one stitch.
