Comment:

 We might have a problem:
 {{{
 sage: B = BraidGroup(3)
 sage: K = Knot(B([-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-2,1,-2,-2]))  # Knot 9_6
 L^10*M^4 - L^8*M^6 - 3*L^10*M^2 + 4*L^8*M^4 + L^6*M^6 + L^10 - 3*L^8*M^2 -
 5*L^6*M^4 - L^8 + 7*L^6*M^2 - 3*L^6
 }}}
 Some of the signs are wrong in this example. Nathan is thinking it might
 possibly by a variable `a = -i M` and/or `b = -i L`, but still...

 Also, I will add a description of the polynomial after the above issue
 gets resolved.
