Sure, it's stereotypical to think there aren't any female sports fans out there. Still, we love the idea that stores are hosting special sales during the Super Bowl geared toward women who'd rather tune out. Check back, we'll keep adding more as we find them.
On Long Island:
Three Black Sheep in St. James (213 Lake Avenue, 631-584-9276) is normally closed on Sundays but will open for a super one-day-only sale from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. that will feature closeout yarns at up to 75% off.
The Knitting Corner in Huntington (718 New York Ave.)--which stocks Rowan, Jo Sharp, Debbie Bliss, Noro, Berrooco, Katia and other brands of yard-- is "kicking off" it's winter clearance sale Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. with discounts promised steep enough to allow the store can make room for spring merchandise.
The Fabric Mill in Plainview (219 South Service Road, 516-465-6400) has extended its annual winter sale through Super Bowl Sunday, when the store is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. All home decorating fabrics are 10-50% off.
Elsewhere:
From noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday, Edressme.com--which carries dresses by designers like BCBG, Anna Sui, Rebecca Taylor and Tibi-- will be putting new designs on sale every hour as part of an incentive for women to "get distracted" by shopping during the game.

This is a slightly sexist headline, as you imply that only women are not interested in the Super Bowl. I know many men who would rather shop than watch an interminable ball-chasing game!
I'm a big guy who loves to PLAY sports, but I couldn't care less about a bunch of thugs tossing around a ball and getting paid millions. Why so many people do care is a mystery to many, but I suppose their lives are so empty they need to project their skills on others.
I agree this is rather sexists. As a woman I would rather watch the superbowl than go out shopping.
