That's how I do it. I leaves an edge with very identifiable stitches to pick up and all the "work" is done on the one side.
If you forget how many you're supposed to knit before the decrease in the center, look for the gap - knit to one before it. If you still can't tell, count the number of stitches on your needles. Subtract 5 and divide by 2, that's how many sts. you should knit on each side of the "v".
