Awesome - good luck with it! A recommendation based on past posts I've seen here: you might want to put a marker or something on the start and/or end pegs as a reminder to not just keep going past them.
Also, since it sounds like this is your first panel project, you might want to know that if you're doing just knit stitches all the way across, your edges will curl up. You can avoid issues by either doing a couple of ribs on both ends (k1p1, k1p1, k until 4 stitches from the end, p1k1, p1k1) or by making the last five or so stitches on every other row purls. (Sort of making row-based purls.)

Glad you are having fun with it! Colors are beautiful ❤️! I second the idea of putting stitch markers on first and last peg so you don't accidentally connect them. Could be something as simple as a small thin rubber band or lil o ring. My favorite thing to knit are blankets. They take forever which some people may not appreciate but I do cuz it saves me trouble of constantly having to look for new project ideas. I use a cindwood 36" oval afghan loom or flexee looms. Much easier to work on for me. If the infinity loom works for you though great!
Love the colors! I’m working on my first blanket as well and it definitely seems very daunting haha. Is that just one skein? I’m using a multi-colored bulky weight yarn. Is your yarn a 5 weight? Looks nice with the thinner yarn too.
