We’re aware of the site being offline tonight (and for a while Tuesday). It’s unfortunately due to a DDOS (targeted attack) on the data centre where Textillia is hosted. They’re working hard to stop it, and hopefully the site will be back soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Well that’s cool, someone is teaching people to use Textillia through the library in Vancouver (where we’re based)! If anyone takes this class, please let us know how it went - thanks VPL!

Admin note: Just a heads up the site is offline for a bit while we reindex our search server after an upgrade. Should be back later today!

@noni__rose As I responded on FB and IG, it was posted as an IG story (and on our forums earlier). It was nighttime here when you posted so I was not able to reply till now, but the site was back up shortly after you posted.

@kariebookish @outcassed @aoifemcl @bioniclaura @doctorsqueaks Some wires in my brain just connected + I realised that could be read as some kind of “all lives” joke - just in case, it is absolutely not! I literally meant we do not require perfection or “good vibes only” around here. Didn’t want to leave anything up for interpretation, ack!

[Textillia @textillia]

@kariebookish @outcassed @aoifemcl @bioniclaura @doctorsqueaks We welcome all (okay, most) moods on Textillia. 😉 I recognise you from knitting Instagram, always glad to see familiar faces join! We have a ways to go before we’re anywhere near as big as Ravelry of course, but gotta start somewhere!

[Textillia @textillia]

Love this article on @designsponge on being a recovering perfectionist, by textile designer and printer @jenhewett. https://t.co/zBCElvz2Kw

[Textillia @textillia]

@sparrowlight Hey! Most of us have been using the "favourite" function for that so far - if that doesn't seem adequate, please start a new thread in the "Ideas and suggestions" forum describing what you'd like to see and we can follow up there. Thx!

[Textillia @textillia]

Anyone knowledgable about repairing and restoring quilts? Someone is looking for pointers or resources in the forums: https://t.co/1SoHGJPV4z

[Textillia @textillia]

Wow, with suede no less! This is an impressive feat of sewing - look at the nice finishing around the zip pockets! #stylearc #textillia #sewing https://t.co/v6PcZpUQzO

[Textillia @textillia]

ps. https://t.co/17fL74CKcJ is still up - the servers are not at our house! We’ll just be extra slow responding on email, forums, Slack, etc. Thx for your patience!

[Textillia @textillia]

Hey folks, just in case anyone’s trying to get a hold of us - a power outage fried our internet connection at home today (fun way to celebrate @brunodbo’s birthday!) We’re checking in via mobile/tethering in the meantime, but otherwise should be fully back tomorrow afternoon.

[Textillia @textillia]

Our big software upgrade is nearly done 🎉 and we're looking for volunteers to help out with testing! Thx in advance to anyone who can help - let’s get this dastardly upgrade done so we can get back to building cool stuff for you! ✂️💕 More info: https://t.co/gfSKYML6wz

A rare video interview with the founders of @ravelry! I had a real lightbulb moment watching this, and am having some new ideas that are actually old ideas, thanks to something @caseyf said... https://t.co/JWbUdgCTas

[Fruity Knitting @fruityknitting]

Meet Ravelry founders @jessicamf and @caseyf, the unassuming but wonderful couple that brought @Ravelry to the knitting world in 2007, supported by an enthusiastic community of knitting volunteers. Fruity Knitting Ep. 54 #knitting https://t.co/WUcFnVFrKt

This @annikavictoria_ video testing out the "Magic Embroidery Needle" is too good...spoiler: by good I mean frustrating! Someone, get a truth in marketing board on this company! https://t.co/6e1qI5Qi1x

Members! I'm going to be undergoing some intensive medical treatment (it's a good thing - my mystery illness was finally diagnosed!), and will be taking an extra step back during the next month or two. More info on the blog: https://t.co/y7XMIeU6YI
