A tale of two sleeves

I bought this Norwegian sweater in 2000. Encouraged by my husband, I had to buy a man's sweater so that it would fit my hips. You can see that the sleeves are beautiful, but I have to roll them up three times when I wear it.

I have to get used to a single flipped cuff on my made-to-me cardigan. It's hard not to think the sleeves are too short.

I've been trying to think of a way to shorten the Norwegian sleeves in a way to preserve the pattern. I don't think it's possible.

After 15 years, should I cut it and knit a new facing or keep rolling them? My arms are just not growing.
