101.) My Amish horse and buggy sweater. Sleeves were not finished at the time this picture was taken in 2016 but have since been completed. Perhaps one day I’ll get a newer picture of this in front of a carriage. And maybe make it a T-shirt. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handmadewardrobe #horseandbuggy #handknit #amishbuggy #amishbuggies #amish #horse #horses #lancaster #lancasterpa #amishcountry #pennsylvania #pa #lancastercountypa #lancastercounty (at Aaron and Jessica's Buggy Rides) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_SQHKs9MH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the typical after church scene for the Old Order Mennonites, having just finished Sunday service and then heading to host homes for a time of relaxing with friends and eating good food. This is not the case now. The Old Order in Ontario have been very conscious of keeping in line with the correct safety measures during the Covid-19 pandemic. Cancelling church and fellowship meal as soon as the order went out. This is not done lightly for a people who rely entirely on interpersonal fellowship. The Bishops of the various districts met with public health officials to determine their next step now that certain restrictions are loosening. And church was held for the first time last Sunday for the Old Order in the Waterloo area. Under new guidelines, meetings must be held out doors (which limits the number of people as the Old Order use no sound projection) and each family stays within their own buggy, two meters apart. No fellowship meals are yet held, but we are thankful for this first step

A (kinda secret) photo of some Milverton Old Order Amish friends of mine. I was in the wood shop, they were going over a shopping list.

Old Order Mennonite Coats and bonnets and Hat, at my dear friends house in St. Jacobs Ontario. Mine is the blue coat in the middle, and the other blue coat and black bonnet belongs to a friend of mine who was also boarding at this friends house, as she teaches at the school down the road. My friend wears that style of hat as opposed to a crushable or straw hat because he is the Vorsinger (Song Leader) of their church. (freshly cleaned too, because much to his wife’s frustration, he had forgotten to change hats and worn his good church hat on a tractor in a dusty field).

Old Order Mennonite children’s Pony Cart. Often the youngers will drive them to school or just around for fun
