Hairsticks, and simple scarf
Found these in Claire's Accessories (cheap tat mecca for all little girls 6 - 66) yesterday for £3.50 the pair. Holly & Emily were very confused, especially since Holly & I had just had our hair cut short ("what do we need these for, Mummy?").
Well, they make perfect shawl / scarf fastenings ... see here. One ball of medium weight mohair (eg. GGH Mohair would be good). Cast on 20 - 24 stitches on 5.5 - 6mm needles. Knit in your favourite simple lace pattern (mine is 2 selvedge sts, *yo, k2 together *, repeat to end of row, 2 selvedge sts, and each row the same) till you have nearly run out of yarn. Cast off. Block as needed. Pin scarf with hair stick.
This one is not in GGH, but is a similar weight (about 150m to 25g).
