Copy Cat
I feel like such a copy cat right now.
When I saw Natalie's robe volante at Costume College a couple of years ago, I wanted one but knew I didn't want to pay for silk to do it so I put it out of my head. Then I saw Lauren of American Duchess' post talking about making one, and it brought it back into my head. That afternoon I realized that I had suitable fabric for it. So I made one last month.
Years ago I poked around a bunch of 1930's knitted swimsuit patterns and really wanted to make one. I knew I had nowhere to wear one to so I kind of laid it aside as one of those things that would be nice to make some day but might never happen. Thenkoshka_the_cat started talking about making one and even started knitting it, and that brought it back into my head. I have two in-progress knitting projects and didn't need to start another one, but it made me kind of look around at patterns for awhile. I found one I liked, and I cast it on over the weekend.
At least the other things I'm making - the shawl, the Christmas stocking, the sweater, and the springed stays - aren't so copy cat. (While the springed stays are based on some Katherine made, they don't feel like I'm being weird since she made them years ago.)
