Yes, your knitting will start to look wider when you go from K2 P2 rib to plain knit. First count your stitches to make sure you haven't added any on by mistake. If you still have the correct number of stitches then don't worry. Keep going and trust the pattern. It will look longer/thinner when it's finished, with the weight of all the wool.
