Re: How to tie garter ties with castellated hone?
Often when I wear castellated hose I use the same simple knot I use to tie my garters when wearing hose with a turn down cuff.

The only difference in the above photo is that when I turned the ends of the knot over to tuck into the garter, I didn't pull them all the way through, leaving a little loop at the top, you can just see in the photo.
There are a couple of fancier ways to tie a garter knot, some of which require a much longer garter. I sometimes use one which starts off the same as the above, with wrapping the garter around the leg, but when you go to tie the knot you start by making a loop with one end, then wrapping the other around that and tying it off, leaving a decorative loop above the knot.
I'll have to get some pictures to show how it's done one of these days, but it may be a while...
