create a wandering spline in 3d space

I can't figure out how to create a wandering spline in 3d space, then put a pipe along the spline.  I can easily create one with sketch but that is bound in the 2D plane, and there appears to be no way to move any of those points outside of the plane.  Ideas?  Thx!

This is not "bending" the circle.

 

But you can put POINTS on the circle, and then move those points up or down in the Z direction, and then connect them with a spline.

" one "gotcha" is that you need to have 3D sketching enabled". THANK YOU SO MUCH! Been getting crazy because I didn't know this.
