I’ve been playing around with the recipe a bit, and discovered that you get different textures by melting the butter and sugar together, versus melting the butter first, and then adding the sugar. The first method gives you the traditional, crunchy, slightly sticky toffee, while the other one makes it a bit more like a meltaway toffee.

I may be a lowly knitter rather than a crocheter, but my trick when I accidentally cut the yarn tail a little short once I’ve cast off is to weave the tapestry needle through the row of stitches first, leaving just the eye of the needle sticking out. Then you can thread that little yarn tail much more easily no matter how short it is.
