A number of Wolf-Rayet stars show variations of up to a factor of ten in their infrared emission on timescales of months to years while their photospheric luminosities remain unchanged. This can be interpreted in terms of variation in the rates at which dust grains form in their stellar winds. Our data show variable circumstellar dust emission from WR 70 (HD 137603), with an episode of enhanced dust formation in early 1989, and fading of emission by dust formed around WR 48a (in 1979) and WR 19 some time before our first observation in 1988. We consider their relation to WR 140 (HD 193793), which forms dust in its wind for a few months at intervals of 7.94 years.
