Delinquent Knitter / Blogger

I'm afraid I've been a delinquent knitter and blogger these last few weeks. I have started a new project, Ene's scarf from ScarfStyle. I was enjoying the project very much as I hadn't done any lace knitting in quite a while, but haven't worked on it for a couple of weeks because I seem to have injured my hand.

One thing I never wanted to do on this blog was complain about my life outside of knitting, but my job is absolutely ruining my hands and its really getting me down. I type all day at a computer (which is depressing on more levels than just the destruction of my tendons) and for the past week I've had pain and some numbness in my hands. I'm afraid to knit because I don't want to do any further damage.

I'll try to take some pictures of my current project soon, but I'm afraid there won't be much progress in the near future. If anyone has any suggestions for what I can do about protecting my wrists from repetitive stress injury from work or knitting I would love to hear them.
