So I looked around and thought of various things, and came up with Condo Knitting -- garter stitch with one small needle and one big one.
I went along for a few rows, alternating my lovely lone Brittany US9 (what is that, 5.5 mm? I thought it was smaller) with a 15 mm, until I noticed that the colours were going to pool, and I would have a splotch of green in almost exactly the same place regularly up the scarf. How to fix this wretched problem?

Aha! I found myself a 10 mm, 7.5 mm and a 6 mm. Now, with 5 different sizes, I get no pooling, and a more interesting looking scarf, which should end up about 6 feet long, I figure. Now the only problem is to remember to take pictures during daylight hours to avoid glary flash photos.
Three needle sizes - good idea. You can also do a row with yo/k2tog periodically to help break it up.
