    "abstract": "We apply the ideas of Alvarez and Labastida to the invariant of spin networks\ndefined by Witten and Martin based on Chern-Simons theory. We show that it is\npossible to define ambient invariants of spin networks that (for the case of\nSU(2)) can be considered as extensions to spin networks of the Jones\npolynomial. Expansions of the coefficients of the polynomial yield primitive\nVassiliev invariants. The resulting invariants are candidates for solutions of\nthe Wheeler--DeWitt equations in the spin network representation of quantum\ngravity.",
