X posted - Knitting ?

I have a quick question.

I love knitting, and am working on a few Christmas gifts. I am still pretty new at it, but getting better.

My question is, I have carpel tunnel, though not horribly (yet). The problem when I knit is that after a short period of time, my fingers and wrists start to go numb and I have to stop for a bit.
Does anyone else who knits have the same problem, and what do you do to prevent it? I hate that it takes me so long to finish a project because my hands hurt too much.

Thanks!!
