  • J. Hoste and J. H. Przytycki computed the Kauffman bracket skein module (KBSM) of lens spaces in their papers published in 1993 and 1995. Using a basis for the KBSM of a fibered torus, we construct new bases for the KBSMs of two families of lens spaces: $L(p,2)$ and $L(4k,2k+1)$ with $k\neq 0$. For KBSM of $L(0,1) = {\bf S}^{2}\times S^{1}$, we find a new generating set that yields its decomposition into a direct sum of cyclic modules.
