Knock as in pinging in the combustion chamber? Or knocking as in some sort of clunk noise from the transmission?

If it's a tranny noise, I'd say you probably have damage to your first gear. Go have a mechanic listen to the noise, and see if he agrees.

I have a similar problem. In first gear my car makes a weird putting noise like it's about to stall and the whole car shakes with some crazy noise. After i get moving however the sounds stop.

highly unlikely it is detonating. It's pretty hard to detonate in 1st, as the motor isn't under much load.
