I go through the same pattern. My husband says not very nice things about it, things like, "I bought you that expensive serger, and it just sits there..." Well, true, but every time I go on a sewing jag, it comes down and is used on nearly everything I sew.
I went through a spinning jag, where I spun the yarn for nearly everything I knitted.
There are the period polymer clay jags.
Quilting jags really only happen when we need a new quilt -- I don't seem to have any quilting enthusiasms, as far as actually doing it goes.
Knitting? Hard to say, since I hadn't knit for years before my husband kept telling me he wanted me to knit him "a jumper." But since then, I've knit pretty well constantly.
But all those things I put away? They come out again. Eventually, all that paper I bought will be marbled. All that fabric will by dyed, and much of it sewn. That yarn will be knit. (Well, sometimes the yarn gets traded, but mostly it gets knit eventually.) That fiber will be spun. Much of the fiber will be dyed, spun, and knit.
So yes, I go through what you call Enthusiasms, which I like much better than The Dwarf's term, Obsessions.
