As far as what to work on next: I have a pair of Jungle Stripes socks OTN that I have not worked on because I was enjoying the FF&L shawl way too much to stop... So, I'll work on those for a while until next Friday, when I'll begin the Flower Basket Shawl for the Knitting Olympics. I'm going to use KnitPicks Essential sock weight yarn in dusk.

It is very great that u have completed the FF&L shawl. It is very beautiful. I am very afraid to start knitting such a shawl for it takes time. U are so brave to start another new shawl.
That FFL is absolutely fabulous! Maybe I should actually start mine! What a great job, a true heirloom. You must be very proud.
Blocking a square is easy. Just thread a very long piece of contrasting yarn along each side and pin out the corners to the desired size. I'm sure there's a reference to it somewhere on line.
After all that complicated knitting, don't be afraid of a simple thing like blocking!
