please let me know if i havent given enough information, because this problem is driving me crazy and i cant find a solution to it

i am following the houdini tutorial, and i just finished mirroring the column. i have to make a curve, but every time i make a curve, the curve flies off in some other direction instead of the direction it goes in the tutorial, i have tried moving the little boxes that i assume are supposed to be the two points the line goes through, but they just make the line go even further away. the line never even touches either side!
