So I am 14 inches done with the sleeves on my lace cardi. I took a look at the pattern, and from the top of the cap to the bottom of the armhole. I don't think that is enough. 
I am going to tweak the length some to make it a little longer. Hopefully it will fit in the hole for the sleeve. I am not sure why it is so short, but I am going to do some adjusting. I think that if I increase the cap length to about 6 inches, I will be able to work it with the arm-hole. Since this is the first sweater I have ever designed, I am just going to go with it until it works. I don't think that I am going to make the pattern available for it though. I have made too many tweaks and adjustments to write a decent pattern. The arrowhead lace patten I borrowed from several sources, including Interweave knits and Barbara Walker's books.
Coming soon: my first self published pattern - the Ipod sweater. A long sleeve raglan with several pockets for your Ipod Nano. Y'all will have to stay tuned to see how it turns out.
In other news, I have decided not to go up north for vacation. I am going to use the money to put in my first order with Henry's attic, and spend some time spinning.
