Abstract: We prove that any complete hyperbolic 3--manifold with finitely generated fundamental group, with a single topological end, and which embeds into $B{S}^3$ is the geometric limit of a sequence of hyperbolic knot complements in $B{S}^3$. In particular, we derive the existence of hyperbolic knot complements which contain balls of arbitrarily large radius. We also show that a complete hyperbolic 3--manifold with two convex cocompact ends cannot be a geometric limit of knot complements in $B{S}^3$.
