When Steve joined the Knitting club he expected to be ridiculed.

Back in the wartime knitting was common, everyone did it, you want clothes? You make it. Which obviously isn’t the case now since it got stereotyped with everything grandmotherly. 

He expected the old ladies not know that he did indeed know how to knit.

What he didn’t expect was to make friends as fast as he did with all of them. (Which says a lot about him that would make the 100 year old jokes unending but he digresses)

They grew close enough, that when Steve was lost in thought about his entirely hopeless situation with Tony, Margo notices and asks him about it,

"Oh, its nothing rea-"

"Steve, dear, frankly your rib stitch is as loose as Carla's terrible cheesecake and I  wasn’t born yesterday boy, what is it?"

Steve winces and sighs, "I have feelings for someone "

That apparently was enough to get everyone's attention, and all the ladies and Gertie's husband huddled closer to him, Richard even got the tea and cookies ready as they all had a look akin to children in story time.

"Well, there's this guy-" Steve says, pauses and winces horrified. He did not mean to tell them that his crush is a guy. People were not ok with things like that before he went into the ice and he doubted it got to the point it did overnight. 

Ruth seemed to understand the reason for his hesitation and rolled her eyes,

"Honestly, Steven, my granddaughter has been married to her wife for five years, Minnie's late husband was bisexual It's mordern times none of us are going to judge you! Now tell us about your guy, what's his name? Give me the details!" Ruth says impatiently. 

"He's famous you know, Tony, Tony Stark? " he conceeds

"Oh honey" Marie mutters

"He's not like in the press!" Steve insists, because he knew of Tony's reputation, and he knew how people see him. "Promise,  he's actually really sweet, and well you know, a hero and he's adorable, like sometimes he comes up to the communal kitchen in time for breakfast and all I wanna do is just bundle him up in blankets and cuddle him, and everyone knows he's a genius and he's just so kind"

"You’ve got that love bug boy" Ruth tutts, not like she was dismissing what he said but more like she was shaking her head at his ridiculousness.

"How come you don't say anything like that about me?" Gertie asks Richard who bristles, 

"I do that when You're not around and im missing you "

They all spend the rest of the meeting listening to Steve gushing about Tony,  which inadvertently gives birth to Operation Woo Tony (Don't ask Steve when it happnned, he has no clue)

("Are you sure-"

"Son, Cynthia’s been writing romance novels for 35 years Marie’s never not had a list of poor saps to warm her bed, and Ruth, Marjorie, and Greta have run the annual Valentine’s Day Jamboree for 15 years in which everyone went home happy. you were captain of the howlies and you're the leader of the Avengers, I'm  sure you can handle it.")
