It's explained in the online help.  SplineFit[] returns a parametisation
of your data.

	data = {#, Sin[2 Pi #/64]} & /@ Range[0., 32.]
	splin = SplineFit[N[data], Cubic]
	splin[#] & /@ Range[0, 32] - data

Because of a spline's properties, you are not restricted to sampling at
integer values -- splin[1.5] returns the {x, y} pair at splin[1.5].
Note also that different splines have different properties; the above
example only works for cubic splines.

Regards,

Dave.
