Knitting by the Era

I knit therefore I remember. Or at least I'm trying this. Have you memorized the order of the era's of history? Well, here's a list and as we go we will be thinking about what to knit to honor each era.
VICTORIAN: 1830-1914
ROMANTIC: early 1800s
REALISM: LATE 1800SNAPOLEONIC: 1799-1815
BAROQUE: 16th to 18th century; rococo style
ENLIGHTENMENT (RATIONALISTIC) or Age of Reason: so late 17th century
RENAISSANCE:Florence was the root: 1400s
MIDDLE: a big one, and not really in the "middle" but from about the 5th to the 11th century
DARK AGES: a phrase first used in 1602, but refers to before the Middle Ages
