The first man on the (Blue) Moon.
We are thrilled beyond measure (although we did swatch) to welcome one very courageous, brilliant, creative, twisted (a prerequisite) man to the Blue Moon family/team and the Knot Hysteria team.
Everyone a very warm welcome to Stephen. Yes… that Stephen
Stephen Houghton aka HizKnits today is officially the very first man on team Blue Moon and we’re thrilled. Ecstatic…overjoyed, bouncing of the walls, doing all sorts of happy dancing. Is it obvious?
Stephen and I have been working toward this goal for about a year now and all our courting, scheming, meeting in dark alleyways at midnight and working through “stuff” has paid off. It has all finally brought us full circle to this day of days.
As I was thinking of writing this announcement and what I wanted to say I had several moments. All good and the one that stands out the most was meeting Stephen for the first time with hizMom Anne at sock camp and falling head over heels for them both. Anne and Stephen are a very hard act to top.
Stephen you’re one of the finest people I know and I’m feeling many things today, not the least of which is relief. Mostly though I fell lucky.
Just so very lucky.
ok dude. Ready to rock?

I’m the one who’s honored. One small step for this man, one giant leap for Blue Moon-kind.
Oh lucky Stephen!!!!!! Lucky Blue Moon family/team!
Congrats Stephen!
Tamara
Congrats Stephen (and the rest of the Blue Moon Team)!
I’m sure it was your excellent microwaving skills that closed the deal!
❤!
proud, happy for, & so excited!
I’m doing multiple jazz hands over this!
Yay! Congrats to you both. This will be a great collaboration of talent I’m sure!
Awesomeness! Welcome Stephen, and congrats Tina on scoring such a great team member.
You are indeed lucky to land such a great catch – he’s great. =)
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! So excited to hear-no wonder all those visits to the PSW!
Welcome & congratulations Stephen & Blue Moon! It is and will be a wonderful relationship.
>jealous<
After having the pleasure of meeting Stephen at the first Knot Hysteria retreat I left thinking what a lovely person he is. How exciting for everyone! And….it’s gotta be said…..why is it that many men who knit are named Steven/Stephen/Steve? Did I miss the boat by not naming one of my boys that?!
What a wonderful pile of awesomeness this news is! Welcome Stephen! Hope that means we’ll see you up here lots more.
But one question… [whispering] can you get Tina to dye that yarn?
Hugs to you everyone!
Whoopee! I hope Stephen is going to be at the silk retreat. I need him to sign the dollar he gave me at Cattywampus (GG). What a great addition to Blue Moon, and everyone’s experience of all things yarny.
Hey there sweet Tina and everyone who orbits around you: I have been reading the writing on the wall for more than a year, but did not expect Blue Moon and Stephen to get married so soon; I thought it would take much longer. I am wishing the Blue Moon constellation an infinite honeymoon as Stephen brings love, power, intelligence, irrepressible spirit, and shining business experience to help Blue Moon continue making an enormous and positive impact on the fiber community. Blue Moon is just at the very tip of its expanding influence, and that you had all better hang on because the ride is going to be turbo-charged. Lucky you’ve added Stephen. All blessings to all of you.
Bravo!! Wonderful news Tina. xx
That is wonderful news. Stephen is such a wonderful addition to an already great team. This news will cause me a million smiles. Hooray for all that just is so wonderful. Now Anne and dad time to move to the west coast ! Then we all will rock!
Wow! Way to go Tina, Stephen and Team Blue Moon. Looking forward to great things. Hugs and Happy Knitting and spinning, Alice
Congratulations to all on such wonderful news! Rock ON!
Oh Happy Day!!
Wow!! Just Wow! How fun is that?! Does that mean Stephen has to attend BOTH weeks of camp this year? Totally missed him last year! Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with now….
Awesome news! Congratulations Stephen and Blue Moon! All the best to all of you!
Congratulations to Stephen and Tina. Now, could someone please spell his name phonetically and put me out of my misery?
Hoffton, Hoeton, Hooton, Howton, Huffton-I’ve tried them all. I know it must seem obvious to those of you who know him. It’s far from obvious to me.
you picked ‘hiz’ so he iz a goodun’
Congratulations on the successful adoption
Congratulations to both of you!!!
Hooray! Welcome, Stephen! I would quote Bogart and say, “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”, but of course, it’s been a friendship between the Blue Moon team and Stephen for a while now. This is just more formal adoption as part of the team!
Most excellent.
Yay! What a great pairing!
What awesome news! Congratulations to you both! That is one awesome job Stephen:)
So will you still be out here in SF? I see more travel in your future:)
It’s pronounced like Santa Claus, ho, ho, ho ton
Well, Mother Knows Best. Thank you so much. I’m such a language freak that things like that stick in my mind until the problem is solved. It’s the correct time for getting ready to “ho, ho, ho!”.
I am so proud of my big brother…and inspired that dreams can indeed come true. My hero, my idol, and my biggest fan, Blue Moon you have made a fabulous choice indeed
That’s so very awesome. Here’s wishing you both (Tina & Stephen) the most massive of successes. It’s pretty much guaranteed. Onwards & Upwards!!!
