Sweep help (Rubber Band modeling)

So I'm trying to model a tubular rubber band in Onshape by using the sweep command. But it's resulting in something really funky and I'm not sure how to solve the issue. The band is going around some spindles of different size. In the picture I've attached I think the problem and what I'm trying to achieve are fairly clear.
Anybody have some solutions to this behaviour?

To fix it, create the profile like this:
1. Create a new plane using the "Curve Point" option then click one of the curve segments in your sketch and its endpoint.
2. Draw your profile sketch on the new plane.
3. Create the sweep.
