Guy's a doll for knitting for women heart patients

"Chester Briggs helps others every night after dinner while sitting in the living room of his Kansas City, Kansas, home. He helps - one row at a time. Briggs knits bright red scarves for female heart patients at eight area hospitals through the HeartScarves program. Since the program began in 2007, volunteers have knitted or crocheted about 400 scarves. About half of those were created by Briggs, 73, a retired fork-lift operator who is the program's most productive knitter. He's so prolific he buys his red acrylic yarn in big one-pound skeins - usually four pounds per shopping trip. Briggs is empathetic to the women he knits for, having had a heart attack in 1990 and open-heart surgery in 2001"
