For example:
<---- I have three shirts that all look exactly like this. Except different colors. When shopping earlier, I thought, "ohhh that shirt is really cute" without even registering that I have three EXACTLY like it. All bought at different times, from different stores.
I also go through color ruts. However unconsciously, for a time, every thing I buy winds up being the same color. I had a Coral Phase, followed by a Navy Phase, followed by a Mint Phase, followed by a Grey Phase.... Every workout thing I own is grey or mint, because I was in those ruts while stocking up on workout gear.... I'm still in the Grey Phase, come to think of it....
And now, I've just discovered that I'm in a pattern rut.
I've decided I'm going to make a quilt for mine and The Grump's bed. I just wanted to pick a pattern and color scheme (I'm thinking grey... big surprise) before buying fabric. And I've found myself drawn to the same types of patterns.
Oooooh lovely lattices...
Like this one.
And this one. This one is grey, too!
And this one.
So I think I'm actually going to make one like THIS magnificence. In grey, of course. Perhaps with some yellow and teal.
The funniest thing about all this is that recently I had to throw out a crocheted afghan which I had been working on for several years. I had intended to make this for my bed in my first home. I don't have any pictures of the afghan (I lost the instruction book for it years ago, as well), but I just realized a few days ago that it was a - drum roll please - LATTICE DESIGN! It even had little squares inside of big squares, like the quilt I JUST decided to make a few days before!!
I guess I like what I like... but DAMN.
Apparently, I'm stuck in an EIGHT YEAR pattern rut. Maybe I'll get over it once I actually get around to making this thing...
Does anyone else do this? Or am I just a weirdo?
