Flying Diamonds Shawl...

I've finished crocheting the 'Flying Diamonds Shawl' but am yet to block it. It will be the first project I have blocked. Do you know any tutorials about blocking that I could use, or perhaps you have a few pointers for me?
I would very much hate to do it wrong and ruin my first woolen shawl.

I surprised myself with this project. I had concerns about the difficulty of the patterns and my level of crochet ability. But now I have been left with much more confidence in my growing crochet skills and I am ready to tackle crochet of increasing difficulty.

Tomorrow I will post the photo heavy tutorial for the crochet hook wrap.
