There are more boys making lace at that age. We have just closed our
last years (no 8) children's lace making contest and had again some boys
taking part. They are about 7 to 14 years old. This year there was a
boy, 11 years old, who started in January, taught himself by a book of
Ulrike Lohr, because he had nobody around who could teach him. In July
he came up with a sort of mat, Torchon, with about 30 pairs and in it
his own pattern: the head of a magician. Around, not sewed with crotchet
while working it (I believe, he didn't know how to do it), but
afterwards with needle and thread, a surrounding of Torchon lace with
spiders. We were all very impressed. I know that he is going on and we
expect him to take part in our next contest.
Our other impressing boy group was from a school for mentally disabled.
They arranged a picture with technically simple patterns: a magician in
the circus. They were not the first school of this sort taking part.

I loved the earrings, please tell your son he did a great job. I
called my
23 year old daughter in too see the picture and she thought it was so
sweet!
How old is your son and how long has he been making lace?
He's now 17, and hasn't really made lace since he was about 6. The
only other occasion was about 2 years ago when he put a few stitches
into a stole I was making for a priest and he wanted to be involved too.
