Just to echo what's been said earlier, find a relatively cheap item to make (materials-wise) and go to town with it.

My favorite has been Nightscape Headbands.  Even to this day, I will make them to take care of excess thick leather.  At about 71s profit for 2 (10 leather total), they're decent vendor money.  Buy stacks in the AH for less than 70s each and you're making a profit while raising your skill.

Don't those require two or so Silken Threads to make? Even with the discount that would tack on 9 or 18 silver (I don't remember if it's one or two) per two headbands, which means you're going to have to find some very cheap thick leather to be in the black on headbands. However, I wouldn't be surprised if you could sell them at the auction house for more than 35 silver, allowing you to turn a profit even after thread costs.
