Default Help with sock embroidery?

Hi all:

I'm trying to embroider two simple letters onto a pair of socks, no
special fonts/designs/etc. needed. Ideally the end result would look
something like this, but I'm pretty flexible;

Unfortunately I've never knitted a day in my life and I need these
soon. Could I pay someone in this group to complete this embroidery?

Many, many thanks!

Mark


That's a really odd place to put the initial. Usually, they go on the
cuff. But if this is what you want, it is easily done by duplicate
stitch or "Swiss darning" --

I could understand it if the initials were "L" & "R". VBG

Nope, those go ON the shoes, unless you're doing competitive obedience,
then you don't need it because "left" is towards the dog and "right" is
away from him.

I used to use which hand hand the ring for right/left. Got married and
