In the end, I did decide to lengthen the sleeves to full length. I continued with the increases at the same frequency all the way up. Yesterday I finished the second sleeve up to the joining point and joined everything together and started working the raglan decreases. The pattern calls for decreasing 2 stitches with each decrease for 3 decrease rows before settling in to the standard of decreasing 1 stitch with each decrease. I did not do this, instead I am just doing the standard decrease of 1 stitch at each decrease, and will work more decrease rows as I want more depth in the armhole. I will end up with more sleeve stitches because of lengthening the sleeves and my extra increases. When I get to the end of the called for raglan decreases I will see if I want to work additional sleeve decreases. I do have broad shoulders and more muscular upper arms, so the extra stitches in the sleeve will not be a problem for me (and are actually needed for a better fit).
